The Dora Milaje 69 Posted March 6, 2018 What's your goal weight? My surgeon didn't give me one, though maybe we will talk about it at our appointment next week. I just picked something, though I'm not sure I want to be that weight if I don't have curves and an apple bottom. 4 ready4change88, logicwand, fulfillingfavor and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krista27 341 Posted March 6, 2018 I am 5'2 with my shoes on! I just had surgery though on 2/9. My goal weight is just something I picked which is 140. My surgeon and his team don't have a set goal weight besides the one I told them. 2 johnsons13 and ready4change88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just picked something, though I'm not sure I want to be that weight if I don't have curves and an apple bottom. *raises hand* here! I started at 213 and I’m now 176; surgery was jan 17th 2018. I didn’t set a goal weight either and my surgeon didn’t mention anything, I’m just going to keep going until I feel healthy and in a good BMI range. 2 1 ready4change88, Schwarz64 and sneezergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmm16 11 Posted March 6, 2018 I'm 4'11" and my surgeon didn't give me a goal weight, but 135 is swimming around in my mind. I have an appointment Wednesday so will have to ask what they think. 1 ready4change88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessariskey 9 Posted March 6, 2018 I’m 5’1 and was told 117, but everyone is different so it may not be right for me. That we will do lots of checkups and decide along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just picked something, though I'm not sure I want to be that weight if I don't have curves and an apple bottom. The doctor told me like 130-135 due to my height.

Once Upon a Sleeve 24 Posted March 6, 2018 I’m 5’. Started the process at 199 and gained a few pounds before I was sleeved. BMI calculators say I should be 110-115, but I remember when I was in my mid 20s wearing a size 0, I weighed 125 and I felt too skinny. So I’m thinking 130 is a better point for me. But, I know that I will be carrying several pounds of loose skin that I didn’t have back then, so perhaps 135 will be a better fit (After 2 babies and hopefully a 70 pound weight loss, I am expecting my belly to look like a shar pei and will be going for plastics as soon as the doctor clears me.)

DebbieLK 4 Posted March 6, 2018 I am 5’ and started at 200.5. I am currently at 167. My goal weight is 120 but my surgeon said that I could go even lower than that because I am very small boned. I am thinking that might be too small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am thinking that might be too small. Lol my doctor told me i was big boned with broad shoulders . lol i of course though of the stereotypical joke in my head of is that another way of saying i am fat lol. I all seriousness i am abit muscular with hundred twelve pounds lean muscle mass. So even though my goal is 138 and apparently 5'2 and no longer 5'3 i will keep evaluating as i go.

logicwand 269 Posted March 6, 2018 That's funny, my doctor never discussed a goal weight with me either. He just pointed in a green section of healthy BMI numbers for my height and said this is where I should be. LOL. Maybe they do this because it does vary so much from one person to the next and also to put the reign in our hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebbieLK 4 Posted March 6, 2018 I wish I did have bigger bones. Before I put weight on I used to hear jokes such as you look like a stick figure or I could break your bones like I twig. I never thought those were funny even though people around me would laugh. That is one reason I do not want to get below 120. I don’t want to look like a stick figure again.
