Ideal weight?????



Recommended Posts

<p>So fellow bandsters!!! I was banded May 22nd and I am doing great.....26 pounds down! I love my band. My friends and family are all asking me how much I want to loose. Well my first response was I want to weigh anything under 200 pounds, but I gotta have a goal right???? I didnt want to use those stupid charts that go by weight and height because those are always crazy.....and put me as being almost a skeleton! So with the help of a fellow May banster I was given this website. I really feel that the weight they have given me is perfect. Now I have a goal weight to get to. Please visit the website and post your ideal weight, and if you think it is realistic for YOU!</p> <p> </p> <p>Sandra</p> <p> </p> <p>Highest weight 255</p> <p>surgery weight 242</p> <p>current weight 216</p> <p>goal weight 163!!!!!!</p>

Hmmm...interesting. The site says that most people think they're ideal body weight at 6' 0" is 230 for men at 49 years old. I really think that is a bit on the heavy side.

BMI says 140 - 184, and I am shooting for a control range of 190 - 210.

To me, seems like its best to set a range rather than a specific weight as your goal.

      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.
