I am 5' 10" and my first goal I am reaching for is 200 at this point. If I reach that, I will be extremely happy and if I never get any lower, it will be enough considering how high I had gotten at one point.

My Dr hasn't given me goals.. Pre-surgery the dietician asked me what I would be happy with but never said this is where you need to be..

Now saying that the first Dr that rejected me as a lapband candidate said I needed to be down to 123 in 1 yr (at 5' 2.5") in order to be considered a success. Therefore, I would never be successful and he wouldn't do the band on someone like me.

I am 5'5" currently 150. My initial goal was 135 but now I am very happy with my current weight. Wouldn't mind to get to 145 for a maintenance range. The weight I thought would be ideal turns out now would be too small for my body type.

Nope! Wish I was joking but unfortunately I left the Dr's office crying that day.

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 130. This might change as I get closer. I started this journey at 232 pounds and I am currently at 197. I can't wait to get to goal or close to it!!

I'm 5'4" and my goal is 130. Although I think I'd like to get to 125 and then never go over 130. We'll see. My surgery is tomorrow. :o I've done very well on my pre-op diet though - I've lost 19 pounds as of yesterday. :)

I am 5' 6.5" and my goal is 160' date=' maybe 150. I can't remember being lower than 185, so I'd even take that now :)[/quote']

Sounds exactly like me.

I was 185 about 7 years ago, but only for a few months! Before that, it was high school.

I'm 5' 7". My goal for this year is to get under 200lbs. Long term goal is 160. I can't even imagine weighing 160. Seems unfathomable.

I'm almost 5'6" and I was 145 for a short time in college. I'd love to be back there! Realistically my 1st goal is 155 and then we'll see what happens.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
