Do you hope to get smaller than your goal? Why or why not?

My ideal size would be about 6-8. A size 0 seems so unattainable at this point (still pre-op and wearing the dreaded size 28) but if I get there and look and feel healthy ... then yay! I just can't even fathom wearing a 0,2,4,6, with all the loose skin I am bound to have afterwards .....

I have always always been very overweight. I haven't a clue how much I want to weight so I'm going for a healthy weight. I'm only 5ft 2 and weight 347 lbs right now. Since this time last yr I've lost 51 lbs. my surgery is this coming Monday so right now I am just working towards that. I'd like to weigh below a150 lbs but if I get below that I'd be thrilled !

Rooting for you! I was high Bmi too and am now normal weight at 140 i am 5'5"

My life time high was 332. I nearly croaked... had been in scale denial and went to weight watchers thinking I was under 300...

anyway my sleeve start weight was 308. I lost 150 over 14 months to get to my goal of 158...maintained about 6 months lost 10 more. I now weigh 140. I would have never imagined it possible when I was 300+ but it really is.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
