Welcome Noobs ;) congrats on your date! If i forgot anyone please let me know.

2 days til i start pre op. This is getting real. The nurse put me on a pre-preop diet ( i think mainly so i wouldn't gain any MORE.) I'm up 2 lbs today so im not too happy but i'm going to do my best for the next couple days til i start my pre op. I'd love to be down 5 lbs . Then it won't look like I gained so much.

QOTD- What is your goal weight, and how did you pick this goal weight?

-I started out in february at 260 when I sent in my paperwork. I thought it was 250 but i checked my paperwork last night and it said 260. I'm 5'5 but for some reason on my paper work i put 5'4...ANYHOW :)

My weight right now is 274.0 as of this morning, I would like to be 269 when I start pre op Tuesday. My GOAL is 140. i always had 150 in my mind but i figure why not shoot for more, since this is a once in a life time opportunity. Of course my goal could change If im happy at 150 or even 160.....or maybe i'll want to go to 120, but for now....140 is my goal :) I always look at mybodygallery.com its a pretty cool site to see different body shapes and sizes.

SO, thats it for now folks.....have a great rest of the weekend... and as always subscribe to me on youtube and add me on Facebook, everythings in my signature :)

What is my goal weight?

I had never really picked one because it has been sssooo long since I have been under 200 lbs. ( I am 54 years old). I weighed around 165 when I was younger, before babies. When I went for my consult with my PCP, he said that at 155, I would be at a normal BMI so let's shoot for that. I am a really slow loser so I really hope that I can get there. It would make me one happy lady!! I weighed 226.4 when I started my liquid diet. I am going to wait until the day before I fly to MX to weigh again.

I am a shorty, no question at 5'2 maybe lol. I would love to be little..not creepy small and the actual scale number I don't really care about. I want to be fit! Like holy batman, check out her pipes fit. lol. I figure 110-120 lbs would be stealth....but then I will be itty bitty, but at least my nickname won't be oompa loompa anymore (yes we were drinking one night and my best friends hubby is an ass, and it stuck)

I just want to be healthy, I mean hot dang healthy =) I have never been little...so it kind of creeps me out lol I have always been that girl with big boobs and round bottom....lol...I officially don't like the question today, as I look functionally retarded trying to answer it lol...

Question of the Day: Well In my head I was hoping to be under the 300 mark for my birthday Oct 31. I never dared say or think it till the other day when I felt it might really be possible. Started May 1st at 379, in horror that I was at that weight, I remember seeing the 300 mark and panicking then, and the last two years with depression from my fathers death sent me ballooning up and I didnt even pay attention. So I am now at 357 and still on pre-op liquids, surgery on Aug 14, (don't know why my ticker wont reflect that date I have changed and saved and deleted it a dozen times and it still shows the 13th) So I am in hopes of then being down another 100 lbs by my 50th birthday in a year. Its been so long since I have been under 200 I cant even remeber being there and it was only a short time as I was always big in school too. Trying to imagine my self in smaller clothes and looking hot and feeling sexy would be so nice but seems so very hard to imagine being that way.

Most of all I want to be able to shower without being out of breath, shave my legs and the down unders easy, paint my toenails and clip them, play with the kids in the yard, work in the yard and besides hubby again, fit in seats any where let alone amusement and plane rides, be able to walk through a grocery store without being in major pain for 3 days after, Mostly live again and not be so embarrassed being in pubic. My Goal weight is to be healthy and get off meds for high blood pressure and so many more :)

I am 5'6" and 260. I have lost 13 pounds in the 6 month doctor visits. I guess I haven't really thought about it, but 140 would be a good number. I have been overweight my whole life, I think it will feel really strange.

QOTD - I just want a normal BMI. At just under 5' tall, the high end of a normal BMI would be 125. That goal is 225 pounds from my heaviest so it quite frankly seems unattainable at this point, but a girl can dream.

I am not real sure what my goal weight is. I weighed 147lbs when I got married in 1995 but I was just a kid so to speak. Married at the age of 17. I can say that at that weight I was a size 10/11 baggy. I say baggy cause my clothes didn't fit well but my hips wouldn't fit in a size smaller. (wide hipsters I guess)

I think I would like to see 160-165 which would put me at a healthy bmi on the lower side. At the same time, i have weighed so heavy over the years that i personally would be happy with anything under 200lbs. In the mix of it all, I think I will leave the weight thing up to my doctor, and then I will go from there.

WW says 140 for me at 5'7" (I think I shrank heightwise since the long ago days of WW), but last time I was 175, my collar bones showed and I looked thin thin thin....I would be thrilled with the 175 at this point, but 150 is where I am headed to make a goal of 128 pounds (a skinny person, I am going to lose a skinny person from inside my bod....lol)

My doctor says my goal weight should be 170, so I will feel good if I get to that. Which would be amazing since I haven't been under 200 in over 10 years.

The slimmest I ever was for any length of time was 155 pounds and I wore my 14's proudly. I have two large bags of clothes in size 14's and 16's that I'm emotionally attached to. I've lugged these bags back and forth through moves to BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon and back, always hoping I'd find the magic combination of willpower and self restraint to lose my weight and fit them again. If I were to hit the goal my doctor has suggested then I'll be a size 8. I can't imagine being that size. I think I was there at 21 for about 5 minutes. I'm already grieving the loss of my "hope" clothes. I want to a be fit and strong size 8 , so that's my goal, what ever weight that ends up being.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
