I am 5'8" and I weighed about 145-150 in high school. It was the fittest I have ever been in my life, and I starved myself and worked out two hours a day to maintain it....I was a size 6/8 and felt absolutely beautiful. I'd love to get back there. Attaching a photo so that you guys can see what 145 lbs looked like on a 5'8" frame. Cheers and good luck!!!post-236607-14130714273591_thumb.jpg

Beatiful! I am 5'9". I was sickly looking at 145. I would be happy at 165. That's where I am

Comfortable still slim looking but not sickly. I have about 38 pounds to go.

I'm not much good for a success story since I am only a week and a half post-op. I am 5'11" (I shrunk from 6') and currently weigh 299. At my highest in February I was 352. I have no earthly idea how I got that big. I think a lot of it was denial. When I went in for surgery I was 312 I think. I'm so happy with everything so far. It's a struggle, but worth it. Hopefully in a few months I can have better results to post. =)

I am 5'8 and weigh 180. I asked my surgeon at my last visit what my goal should be and he said healthy. As long as my blood sugar and high blood pressure are under control I can stop whenever I want to. The nutritionist and I decided on 160. I am 7 months out and have lost 92lbs.

My surg was 10/25/2012. Hard to believe two years out, and sadly, not where I want to be!

Bad back has made exercise almost impossible, now...grazing is creeping in and VSG rules are creeping out. I'm trying to get back on track! Overall, no regrets!

51/F. 5'10

SW 303 sz 24

CW 225 sz 14/16

All time HW back in 2001 was 390. All in all I've come a long way!

Would love to hit 199, or size 12?

I am 5'11 and am currently 191. I am currently trying to get down to 175 in order to get a body lift and breast augmentation in February. I had weight loss surgery nearly 3 years ago and am absolutely so glad that I did and I recommend to people to do it as long as they are in the right head space about it. When I tell people my weight they always tell me I do not look like I am that weight, and people who knew and saw me before the weight loss said I never looked that I weighed 300. I tend to attribute that to being so tall, I have always been told that tall people carry weight better. Nearly 3 years out and the only place I have a problem with extra skin is the stomach area, but as the plastic surgeon told me because I am so tall with a long torso it makes for a better lift canvas (as he put it).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
