How Did You Choose Your Weight Loss Goal?



Recommended Posts

Both my surgeon and I sat down and discussed my final goal weight. I started out at 276 I am now 206 in five months. Her goal for me is between 150-160 pds. A very obtainable goal.

I have not set one yet. Not a firm number, not a firm size really. I have a bit of difficulty "seeing" myself past a 16. beyond a 14? lol...but I am trying, because I wonder what I would look like as a 5'10" inch me, just a size 10.

Did you go by a desired size? inches? BMI?

My doctor's goal was 150 - MY goal, initially, was a size 8. I got down to a size 8 and then a 6 - I'm currently about eight lbs below the goal Dr. Davidson set and my GAP jeans are a size 4. I would never, ever have dreamed I couild get to this size....I was afraid an 8 would be too small. I would have bet money I'd look anorexic, unhealthy - but I look and feel great! I had to add snacking back into my routine just so I can maintain. I've been maintaining now for not quite a year. I go up and down a couple of lbs all the time, but I feel like I'm living life like a naturally thin person. It's great! Oh, my BMI varies between 22 and 23.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
