What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

My goal weight is 160. I'm 5' 2" and 33 years old. I'd like to be a size 10-12. I know it's on the high side- but that was the lowest weight I remember being in HS. Currently I'm 6 days pre op- weighing in at 270. My HW was 330 last August. I'm trying to lose another 10 lbs pre op- so I will have 100 lbs to go after surgery.

I'm 46, and 5' 11" tall. My starting weight was 330, and I'm at 266 this morning. My surgeon didn't really give me a "goal" weight....but MY goal is 180-185. I know from experience that I look anorexic at 160... No desire to go there. 180-185 will look great with my frame.

My surgery weight was 292 I'm at 201 now. I am 5'5 and my lean muscle mass is already on the high average end and body fat is much lower than the last time I was at 201 so I'm thinking I'm going to look damn good and solid at 150. I want to be an athletic frame so I think that will be a good number. Your BMI doesn't tell the whole story all of the time!

I'm almost 6ft, I'm just shy of 320 lbs and I'm 33. My personal goal is to get to around 170 which gets me to a normal BMI. My doc said that he thinks i will be good at 180-ish. I carry a lot of muscle on my frame. Casein point, I went with my mother and her friend to gather firewood for a bonfire we were having at tht friends house. I went to pick up a log and started dragging it....that friend was on it and i moved it jut fine. She thought it was hilarious that I picked the log and her up at the same time and thought nothing of it. Lol.

I think an athletic frame is gorgeous and sexy....therefore I will have one someday.

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 160 at least, maybe 150. I remember that weight and it has been a long time since I've seen it:). I was size 10 to 12, but not that concerned with size as long as I never have to go to the plus section again!

My surgery was March 20, 2012. I'm 5'6 1/2 and highest weight was 396. I'm now 298 (yay!!!) My surgeons goal for me is 233 (say what) my goal for myself is 175. I picked this number b/c I'm solid and carry my weight as such. Most people couldn't believe I weighed 400 pounds when I did cause I carried it pretty well. I do not want to be skinny, I want to hold on to the curves in my figure ;0)

I'm 4'11'' 40 years old and my healthy BMI range is 99-124. My surgeon considers you a success when you lose 65% of your excess weight which would have put me in the 150's. My personal goal for now is 123.8 to be in the normal BMI range - 1 more lb! Then my goal is that in clothes LOL I am getting ready to set a body fat % goal too - having a DEXA scan Monday to find out where I am. I am in sizes 6-10 depending on the clothing quality. Ultimately I think weight wise I would like to be around 115. We'll see!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
