How much weight is too much? Do I have a problem? Is this normal?



Recommended Posts

I don't know what the "rules" are on goal weights, but I'm also 5'2" and small framed. I'm currently at 140lbs and my goal weight is 115. If you look at a BMI calculator, for our height, those weight goals are right in the middle of the healthy range, not under or overweight, so I don't see any reason why you should worry about wanting to have a lower goal weight. That said, my simultaneous goal is to feel healthy and happy and completely badass, and I honestly already feel like I've met that goal, so for me I could lose more or not and be absolutely elated!!! ;)

You've done a great job losing all that weight and you look amazing and happy and healthy. I say do what you want <3

I have seen 2 plastic surgeons and they were about the same price. But their techniques where different. The second one I saw was much more hands on and explained everything to me more in depth and he was brutally honest. I liked him better. SO definitely shop around when it come to surgeons. I have to have 4 procedures. Excuse me now I do not know the medically terminology for all this. Eventually I will get a lower body lift, that is where they will do a circumference incision around my lower bikini line/hip/butt area. I have so much extra skin in order to get it tight he will also have to do a lateral incision on my abdominal area. This procedure in completely optional, depending on if I want tight skin or still have to deal with some loose skin. I am doing the surgery so I want it all gone and tight. I have to have a thigh and butt lift, a breast lift with augmentation, and an arm lift. My surgeon will do it in 2 surgeries. The lower and then the upper. They cost about 15,000-16,000 each. So all together about 30,000. This includes all fees, operating room fees, anesthesia, hospital stay, and pre-op visits. The only thing it does not cover is pain meds after the surgeries. The recovering time after the surgeries is long and you have to be off from work 3-4 weeks depending on your job.

      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.
