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

I know this has to be on everyone's mind, their final results. I did get very, very small post op VSG. I got down to a size 0... though my goal was only to get to a size 8. I said I'd be happy to be out of the double-digit pants (a very far cry from my largest size 28W!!) and honestly never imagined even getting that small. But I did and I blew right past a size 8. I kept telling myself that I never wanted to get too skinny, but I won't lie - the smaller I got the more I liked it. It's no secret I've gained some back, but now that I'm back on track I know I won't mind getting back into my size 0's again. In fact I have them hanging up outside my closet ready to be re-worn. I'm not that far away, time passes and pounds melt away.

How do you feel about getting "skinny"? Do you want to? It's okay to be open about it, we're all thinking the same things believe it or not. No matter which surgery we've individually had, we do all share majority of the same shames and struggles as each other.

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 !

I want to be a size 8 and no bigger than a 10.

Good luck Monday! :)

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.
