My stats:

  • Age: 55
  • Height: 5' 3"
  • Beginning weight pre-lap band surgery 6/2008: 220
  • Weight when my lap band was removed 2/2017: 140
  • Weight pre-sleeve 2/2018: 160
  • Current weight: 128
  • Goal weight: 125

My surgeon suggested that I lose more - going into the 110s. I haven't been that weight in 30 years, and I'm happy with 125 as a goal. I feel fantastic at my weight right now! :D

Hi! I am 5'6 and my goal weight is 175. I know its on the higher end, and I'll still be considered overweight but I also want to set realistic goals. I think that once I hit that weight, I might aim for 160, but honestly my true goal is not being in pain, and being able to shop in normal stores :)

That's pretty much exactly what my goals are. I'm 5'5 ... almost 5'6

I put 180 for my goal weight because I liked the ticker, LOL! But my main goal is to FEEL healthier, stronger, agile, and flexible. I want to walk a flight of steps without huffing and puffing. I want to sit comfortably at a stadium or in an airplane (without having to ask for a belt extender). I want to place my hands flat on the floor and touch my forehead to my knees.

I’m curious! [emoji4]
What is your goal weight? How tall are you? How much weight do you have to lose? What is your proudest NSV?
For those of you who have met your goal weight: How many pounds have you lost? How long did it take to reach your goal?

I am 6’4” and started my journey at 333lbs. I originally set a goal weight for myself of 230lbs just trying to set something I thought was realistic. I am currently sitting at 198lbs, and have realized at this point that the number really doesn’t matter. My only goals now are getting my body to where I want it to be strength wise, and to just live healthy. If I gain or lose a few pounds it really doesn’t matter so long as I am living the way I know I need to to stay healthy.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
