I have no clue what my ideal dress size would be. Last time I was under 200 lbs I was a young teen. I'm tall and big-boned so I'm not even sure what would be realistic for me.... I was just realizing today I have no clue what my target weight should be. I'll have to ask my nutritionist.

Right now any dress size that is not obese would make me thrilled

I would love to wear a size 8 dress... I am 5'6 and current weight 198 , goal weight 150 lbs. at my highest I was a tight 16 so an 8 would be dropping 8 dress sizes, that would be amazing.

I was just moving into size 12 when my Lapband broke for the last time (and never recovered) and I was actually pleased as a pickle. Getting sleeve January 4, I may aim for 10, but I think a 12 would make me happy if a 10 doesn't happen. I am 6'0.

Well, the smallest I ever was as an adult was a size 7/8, so if I could get back there again, I'd be ecstatic! Like others have mentioned, getting to a single digit dress size would be a major achievement.

Interestingly enough I don't have an ideal dress size anymore - I had when I was a few years younger but not now. If anything I'd like to be a size "M" because that's where the most variety is available.

Being a size "M" means that you will probably need a size "S" or "L" depending on the cut and brand and these are the most common sizes available (at least when it comes to my preferred style of clothing). It also means that the length of pants and shirts etc. fit my 1,67 cm height.

I'm shooting for a size 8. If things keep going as they are, I think I can get there by mid-February. 5'7" here.

      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.
