I'm 5' exactly. One year post-op I went under 115 for the first time and I'm still losing. It looks like I will end up 105-110.

Do you have a lot of loose skin?

You bet, mostly in the mid-section. I just had the Tummy Tuck last month.

I'm 5'1" and my goal weight is 130. My doctor said that's certainly doable and realistic. I'm taking into account my big boobs and the fact that I know my tummy will have loose skin. If not for those two factors, I would say 120-125.

I was hoping I might have some snap back but realistically I can already see I will be saggy. Oh well, let me start planning for my plastics!

I have packed on a lot of muscle over the months of training. I have stopped trying to be in the 140's. I am going for strong now. I love how my body looks currently and I am focusing on the inches. I just cannot wait to have the fat removed from stomach because that baby is not trying to go anywhere and I am sure I have at least one Ab underneath it lol.

  • GW: 180

I hope everyone reaches their goals.

I am 5’0 tall and my Dr said my weight should get down to 110lbs. So, I looked it up on the BMI chart and it is right in the middle of the healthy BMI range. Vsg on 11/24/2017 Hw 189lbs CW 140

I’m 5 feet even. No goal weight for me, and I don’t think I will set one. I’m starting very high (362, down to 293 and still pre-op), and I think it’s highly unlikely that I would ever get to 125ish, which is around the top of the normal BMI range. I think I was last about 10 years old when I weighed that. I would be disappointed if I didn’t get under 200, though.

Bright i think you are going to do amazing after surgery. 72 pounds pre-op is stunning. With that kind of commitment i think you are going to be an amazing vsg story.

good luck and i look forward to following your progress.

Aw, thank you so much. That was just what I needed to hear tonight. One more nutrition appointment to go!

I wish you all the best as well!

I’m 5ft and my goal is 130-140. I’ve
Lost weight before and was 115. I was verrry small. Size 2 or 4. But at 46 I don’t want to be that hollowed out looking.

I’ve lost 90 so far and am getting a little loose skin. Part of it is a 6” vertical bellybutton to public bone incision that is doing this awful valley, butt crack type thing [emoji23] and a little behind my arms where I got some stretch marks and my bellybutton sags a little bit I think some of that is from my gallbladder surgery and hernia.

I figure my stomach will look like a bomb went off after my 4th abdominal surgery. Gotta start saving for a mommy makeover.

      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.
