How much weight is too much? Do I have a problem? Is this normal?



Recommended Posts

I don't know what the "rules" are on goal weights, but I'm also 5'2" and small framed. I'm currently at 140lbs and my goal weight is 115. If you look at a BMI calculator, for our height, those weight goals are right in the middle of the healthy range, not under or overweight, so I don't see any reason why you should worry about wanting to have a lower goal weight. That said, my simultaneous goal is to feel healthy and happy and completely badass, and I honestly already feel like I've met that goal, so for me I could lose more or not and be absolutely elated!!! ;)

You've done a great job losing all that weight and you look amazing and happy and healthy. I say do what you want <3

I have seen 2 plastic surgeons and they were about the same price. But their techniques where different. The second one I saw was much more hands on and explained everything to me more in depth and he was brutally honest. I liked him better. SO definitely shop around when it come to surgeons. I have to have 4 procedures. Excuse me now I do not know the medically terminology for all this. Eventually I will get a lower body lift, that is where they will do a circumference incision around my lower bikini line/hip/butt area. I have so much extra skin in order to get it tight he will also have to do a lateral incision on my abdominal area. This procedure in completely optional, depending on if I want tight skin or still have to deal with some loose skin. I am doing the surgery so I want it all gone and tight. I have to have a thigh and butt lift, a breast lift with augmentation, and an arm lift. My surgeon will do it in 2 surgeries. The lower and then the upper. They cost about 15,000-16,000 each. So all together about 30,000. This includes all fees, operating room fees, anesthesia, hospital stay, and pre-op visits. The only thing it does not cover is pain meds after the surgeries. The recovering time after the surgeries is long and you have to be off from work 3-4 weeks depending on your job.

      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.

      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...
