What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

I would like to be a 7-8. My Surgery is April or May after my 6 month diet and exercise requirement is complete. I am a 20-22 now. I really want to be healthy, I will take what ever my results end at, but I will give it my all to get there. Good luck to you all.

I am a 20-22 as well. My surgery will be next month. I think I wouldn't mind being a size 9. Ultimately I just want to look and feel healthy.

I'm so proud of you guys. I started out a size 24 and I didn't stop until I was a 0. I got an obsession with losing weight. I looked healthy at a size 6. I'm working my way back. It's hard. I have a true phobia of gaining weight now. I weigh myself everyday sometimes 3 times a day.

Just be careful. My surgery was a blessing. Just always be happy where you are. I'm learning that now.

I'm a size 22 right now' date=' I'd love to be a 12. I was a 12 when I got married and very happy at that size. Anything smaller would be the cherry on top.[/quote']

Don't forget the whip cream

Really size 0? How do you feel? Do you see your self in good health & shape? Like when you was size 6 did you feel fat? Me honestly I'm happy in my size 4 but I wouldn't mind being a size 2 heck even a 1 lmbo but I don't want to look anorexia. I see my self slim but not skinny yet.

I feel fine. Everyone keeps telling me that I look really frail and too thin. I feel like I should keep losing weight. It's like I'm not content until I feel skinny. I've been told that I looked my best when I was in my size 6 jeans. Im like you. I know I'm slim..but I don't feel skinny yet. I know that a size 0 must be skinny..but I don't feel skinny. I dunno, it's a mental thing. I'm still not happy with my body. I think I'll feel better once all the baggy skin comes off. I've already had a Tummy Tuck but my thighs, butt and boobs belong to an 80 year old woman.

I have never really been a small person. Even as a child I remember always being plumper than my friends and the other kids. The smallest size I ever remember wearing was a 14 in high school and I thought then that was huge. It's funny because now being a size 24 makes me yearn for those 14 days. Ideally, I would like to be an 8/10 after everything is said and done.

Smallest size for me was also a 14/16 in jr & high school. I was a size 12 for 5 minutes. I would be happy to see 14/16 again.

I have actually decided not to put a number on how much I want to lose and what size I want to be. I guess the reason for this is because I have never been anything but big. I want to feel and be healthy and whatever size and shape that is I will be happy :D

When you feel good & healthy I wanna know how much you lost & what size you are when you feel 100 percent ready to say "look at me now" . That's the best feeling.

6 would be amazing! I'm excited to look good in clothes instead just buying whatever fits.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
