Right wat is your ideal weight

MaryPoppings

My doctor says 180, but I want to be 150. I'm 5'7" & the charts have my healthy weight at 140-160, and I want to be in that range. 180 would still have me in the overweight category.

What about you?

It probably will be hard, but it will be worth it.

I think that the doctors want to have realistic expectations, and that's fine, but I want to be healthy.

I figure that I will just stick to the program and let my body decide when it wants to stop. Hopefully, that will be around 150. :-D

Last week I didn't do so well. I ate chocolate and carbs. This week, I'm focusing on Protein and not snacking. Go back to the basics if you feel you're getting off track. Go back to Protein Shakes if you have to. That's what I'm doing. I'm also back on my fitness pal recording my food. That really helps me stay on track.

I think 10 in a month is totally doable. You can do this.

The hardest part of this is breaking the emotional eating habit. The sleeve is your tool to do this. Pray, exercise, meditate... do anything but eat when you feel emotional. You can break the cycle. You have the tools to do so. Just don't give up. You got this!

I am the same 5'3" and my doctor said 150. I really want to be in the healthy range of 130. My neighbor had bypass and says that she struggles to stay above 140 so I'm hoping I have that "problem". The bad thing is she has lost so much hair. I haven't seen her in a while so I'm not sure how she is now. I'm very scared about that. Everytime I wash my hair I am worrying about hairloss. Have any of you noticed Hair loss? Is it ok to die your hair after surgery?

I didn't know my natural hair color because I've been highlighting it since I was 16 so I died my hair dark brown before surgery trying to match my eyebrows. It turns out my natural hair color was actually dirty blonde so now I have light roots with dark brown hair. It looks so weird, but I'd rather have weird hair color that no hair at all LOL!!

Good luck ladies!! I'm counting down the days till I get below 230. I've been stuck in the 230s for about 2 weeks now.

I noticed my hair thinning last week. I had surgery 10/16/12. I read that it usually takes place around 3 months, so bingo here we go! I have thick hair to begin with so I hope its not as noticable. Either way, I will chop it off to my shoulders if I have to instead of walking around with stringy hair. Oh well, I'd rather lose this weight.

My hair has been thinning, but it seems to have slowed down a bit. I've been taking Vitamin B12 & started Biotin. I hope it's working and that my hair will grow back and get thick again. A friend of mine who had three surgery two years ago said her hair stopped falling out and grew back. It took awhile. I'll ask her how long.

Feeling so hungry for the past 3 days. It scares the **** out of me. And it seems like I can eat more at one sitting.

My god I hope this is temporary. :(

I have been able to eat more as well. We just have to keep up with the healthy eating! As long as I am still losing, though it seems to have slown down a lot, I am still happy. I would never have been able to lose this on my own.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
