Anyone whose goal weight is less than 100 pounds?



Recommended Posts

My goal is 90 lbs if I ever get sleeved! That's lbs to lose, not my goal weight.

Well, some people set their weight goals a lot lower than mine. I am sticking to the goal that my nutritionist set for me, though I still have kind of a secret hope of getting to 10 pounds lower than that so I can fall in the "healthy" BMI range. At my nutritionist's goal of 165, I will still technically be overweight. Also, I carry all my weight in my hips and thighs, so while I'm in a size 14 pants still, I'm now in a size 10 dress and medium shirts.

That's true they do. I wasn't given a goal weight by my nutritionist, nor my surgeon. There's no pressure of a set goal thank goodness, just encouragement to reach personal goals. I carry my weight evenly, I've just got an hour glass and I'm hippy. I can't change that, even without fat on those hips lol. I've got a goal weight personally that's right in the BMI spectrum for my height, as I have specific goals with my life after this and I need to be that weight. I'm sure it'll all work out. My body is weird, I'm excited to see where it goes next.

It took me a bit over 6 months to lose 100 pounds (278 to 177) - sept 12, 2013 to March 18, 2014. That wasn't my goal though. My goal was 145 and that was -133 pounds and took a bit over 10 months (sept 12, 2013 to July 23, 2014). Then I realized I was still losing pretty easily so I kept going and reached me "dream goal weight" of 125 (-154) and that took about 20 months and was relatively recently. I don't want to lose anymore. I'm just looking to maintain at this point. Good luck to you!

hey Livvsmum, if you don't mind can you give me some details on your weight loss process. You seemed to lose really quickly. What did you do? How many calories/ carbs were you eating? How often did you exercise? My goal weight is 120. I am only 3.5 weeks from surgery and have already hit a stall. I am staying steady at 209.4. I eat about 450-550 calories per day, and between 30-40g carbs per day and 50-70g of Protein. I also work out at the gym 3-4 days per week, and hike with my dog 1-2 days a week. I feel like I should be losing more weight. I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I really would like to hit my goal weight within a year. Can you please share with me what you did? Also I would love to hear from other people as well, all advice is welcome. Thank you guys!!!

      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.
