I was purging my closet and have a nice size 12 dress that fits me and I'm a size 8. I can wear a smaller size sometimes, even have a size 4 in my closet...but I'm closest to an 8 than anything.

I can wear a "10" now. When I get to goal "4 or 6" that will the smallest ever. I always wanted to be a "10." Now what I want most is to be healthy with a normal BMI. A dress size alone is not a good indicator of "good health."

I was down to a size 10 about a year ago, loved how I looked in clothes and was trying for a size 8. My doctor told me lots of patients regain 10-20 pounds around the two year mark, so I wanted to make sure I gave myself a cushion. Welllllllll...... Fast foward almost another year, I am now a size 14! And it's a real struggle to lose a pound! I would be perfectly content being a size 10.

I am now more than a year out from surgery. I'm 5'9 and I now wear a size 10/12. I am at my Dr. Prescribe goal weight. I could get thinner but, honestly, I feel beautiful and very confident at this size. Im near 40 and I think this is the most attractive I have ever been in my life. When a clerk at any store asks me my size, I hold my head high when I say what size I wear!

SO in my head an ideal dress size is a 6. That's also the answer I believe if you surveyed 100 random women in the street they would say. I'm currently a 10, sometimes an 8. I can buy dresses from Fashion Nova in a Medium and they fit great.

@Kathy812 I'm glad you commented about regain. As I'm getting closer to my goal I need to keep this in mind although I hoped to maintain my weight within 5-10 lbs of goal by going slightly under so when or if I gain, I'm still at or near my goal weight.

I believe I am "big-boned" so I think going past a size 10 for me would look odd. I'm in between a 14 and 16 right now and already you can see my ribs sticking out if I wear tighter clothing.

      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.
