I'm 5'5" and 40 years old. I started at 320 and am currently at 227. My goal is 140. My surgeon has never given me a goal, that's just what I want.

He gave me a goal of 135 and I laughed out loud. I got there and liked it so much I decided to stay.

5'4 1/2 and I was recommended at 150 but my personal goal is 140. Everyone has a different body though so as long as it is a healthy BMI I'll take it.

@@Mel24 I'm with you on that one! I want to be 170, but anything under 200 and/or a size 10, and I'll be happy (5'10")

I'm 5'5" 46 years old.

I felt good and would have been happy when I got to 170

Surgeons goal was 160

Personal goal was 150

I actually got down to 137 and have easily maintained 137-140 for 7 months.

I'm 5'5" and 69 years old. I'm 6 months post-op and have lost 73 pounds (20 pounds pre-op, 53 pounds post-op).

I've set my goal at 150 pounds.

BTW, my surgeon never gave me a specific weight goal. He and his team already think I am a success. :)

5'6 (30yr). Surgeon set goal weight at 160-165. personally I'd like to see 150 again but I too usually weigh more than people expect (people now don't believe I'm in the 220s now). anything below 170 would make me happy! :D

I'm 5'6 and my goal is 160. I was that weight in my 30s and I was able to maintain and I felt good. 74 lbs to go. I've lost 76 so far. Long way to go!

I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 150. I've settled at 176. I'm going to have to work harder to get the rest off. I'm fine with that. I'm not sure what weight my surgeon would suggest as goal. I'll ask next time.

I'm 42, 5'5" and according to the Body Composition scan I had to do, they said my goal was 190, but then she said, most people come in twenty pounds less. So I'm hoping for 170 which is a 100 pound loss and would make me thrilled. If I get lower, fantastic!

I'm 5'4" and goal of 145 because that is a weight I recall when I was 18 and felt good.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
