What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

Just curious as to what everyone's goal weight and size is ?! and how tall you are and your age <3

My surgeons goal weight is from 105-112-_- I personally think I will look sickly at that weight so I made my own personal goal of nothing bigger then a size 9 and a weight of 125 <3 I am 21 and stand at 5'4

I am 5'1" and my goal weight is 120. I used to be a size 10 when I was younger, but I really don't care about the size as long as I am healthy.

I'm 5'5" and my doctor's goal is 120 but I'm thinking 130-140. Why do they go so low?

Goal weight is 130-140. My surgeon said because of my body comp, I will look very skinny already at 165ish. When I'm around that weight I'm probably a size 8. But I'm going to prove them wrong. Average Weight for my height to be at a normal weight is 132. So that's what I'm aiming for. I'm 24 years old. I'm 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs as of this mornings weigh in. I was 232 preop. I'm 5"5. Good luck with your surgery btw! Hope everything goes smoothly for you:)

Sizes vary so much. I'm 5'0" and currently 153 and can wear a 6 from American Eagle another pair of pants that I used to have same exact pants pre surg in a 12 I found them in a 4 at a resale place but they still had tags and they fit great! I have a pair of shorts that a jr's 9 from jcp and I can get them on but to button them would be uncomfortable until I lose about 8 more pounds I'm sure. So that said I'd like to get to 130 ish and whatever size that may be!! O ya I'm 42. Forgot that part!

I'm tall for a female 6ft. My starting weight was just over 400 so i set my first real goal at getting to 199, Doctor told me that was a good place to start.Getting to 174 will put me in the normal range, so once i get below 200 i will decided how much loser i want to go. Right now I would be happy to get to a size 16.I am 33.

I'm also 6ft tall. My starting weight was 298. My goal is 165ish, although I'm not sure that's possible. I have been at 170/size 12. I would like to be a bit less. I'm hoping for a size 10. My starting size is 22/24. 175 is generally considered my target.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
