I had answered waaaay back in the beginning of this thread in May 2014 that a size 8 would be ideal.

I am now a solid size 6. I can even fit into some 4's.

Life is good :)

I am 5'6. I'd be happy to get into 10 or 12 jeans. Currently 18.

If I lost every ounce of fat I would never make it into a 6. My bones and body are just bigger (I'm 5'11). I'm in a 12 now, but might try for 10 more pounds and get into some 10s.

I'm 5'7 and a loooong time ago when I weighed 117lbs I wore size 8 or 9 because of my hips.

I'm aiming for a size 10. I'm sure I could get lower, but I'm afraid I would look gaunt and scary since I have broad shoulders and bigger frame.

I am 5'1 and wear a 4, but I still have a fair bit of fat on my abdomen. I have a few more pounds to get to goal so I figure I will land at a size 2.

Yeah, I think that's my ultimate goal, but after losing tons of weight and getting to that size multiple times, just to gain it all back several times, I'm starting to think it isn't reasonable, and I should be happy as long as my bmi is in the healthy range.

      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.
