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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
