What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

I'm 5'11". Highest weight was 357 in early march. 323 when i started my 2 week pre op diet. 299 day of surgery 7/30. 12 days post op i'm at 278. I would like to be around 200. The normal charts say i should be 175 but i just dont think that is right for me. I have always carried alot of muscle. But you never know i'll cross that bridge when i get there.

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 160 at least' date=' 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![/quote']

I love this not shopping in plus size again!

I am a couple weeks away from getting a surgery date and starting an Atkins style low carb diet to prep. I read all these stories and pray this will work for me. I will cry when Ann Taylor size 12 fit. 10 I will pass out. 8 well we will see if I get there. I am sure as hell going to try like I won't fail. Sceptical.

I am 43 yrs young. 260 lbs wearing size 18 or now 16 in some dropped 5 lbs. I would like to drop 100 lbs. If I do my plastic surgeon is going to nip tuck anything that isn't right. Then I will go back to Maui to parisail and have the wedding photographer that shot our wedding there take hot pics of me!

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

That does sound very low for a goal weight I myself am 21 and 5'4 and my doc wants me at like 140

My goal weight is a solid 220. I am 5'11" and 33 years old. I am hoping that when I lose the weight,,,, I lengthen a little bit.... LOL... I've always wanted to be 6'0" tall.... LOL... Not sure if that could actually happen.. but eh...I can at least wish. :)

I am 5"8 I began this at 233. Had a food funeral gained a few pounds. I'm on the pre op diet. Surgery is Thursday 8am, I weigh 229 today expect to be 225 or 223 surgery date. I am 36 years old and goal weight is 170. At 206 I wore a size 12 so I should be a comfortable "healthy" at 175.

I am 31. 5'5 ish and I want to be size 8 or 150. Whatever happens first. I might go down to 145 just to give me some wiggle room.

Did your dr set a goal for you? I'm also 31 and 5'5" and my dr said I should be able to get to 120! That seems super skinny to me so I told him 130-140. Ideally, 140 would be my max for a healthy BMI, I think. But I don't remember ever being less than 165 so anything less would be a dream.

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
