What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

I have never been thin so I don't even know what is the smallest my bones will fit in to, but remember I didn't look too shabby in a size 14 (was 180lbs, still 30-40lbs overweight) but man I'd love to wear a size 8

I would love to be a size 6/8. Right now I am in the high 20's/low 30's. I feel like Jabba the Hut. Getting down to a manageable size is the goal. I will have surgery in September sometime... October at the latest.

I have a bit of booty, which I would definitely not mind keeping!

Pre-op, in an 18/20 right now. I think dreamland would be about a 10, but I'm not even sure if my big bones will fit there - I'll be more than happy with a 12/14!

I have always wanted to get to a 14, since I've been bigger than that all my adult life. But I wouldn't mind being smaller. I'm curvy, and I worry about looking crazy if I lose too much. :-)

I would love to be a size 10 again (like I was when I got married 26 years ago). I'm a size 26w so I don't know if everything (mainly my stomach area) will go back to that.

Never been under a 13/14 !!! Hopefully an 8/9 ! But my lowest is definitely a 6 ...

Loves my curves too much and would love to keep them !

But any size is fine as long as I am healthier !

Me too Rachael. I wear a 30/32 top and 26/28 pant. Smallest size I ever remember wearing was a 12.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
