A monday Poll

Ok Weve all posted our starting wheight and todays weight.... But how far are you from goal? And is your current goal the same as your pre-op goal? My preop goal was 140. Im only 26 pounds from that goal. I think I'll stick to that goal. I deff. wouldnt want to get lower than 130. I'm short but that sexy man on my profile likes me a little thick, lol Elsa

You must be a mind reader... I was just thinking "we should all post how many pounds from goal we are"! And viola, you post it ;) I am 65 pounds from my surgeons goal of 145. That is the same as pre-op. I would like to be closer to 130-5ish, but I doubt I will be that low until after plastics, which is a far way off... so for now, I use the 145 goal. I am 5'4" and have a very small frame.

Okay well I'm 10 lbs from my personal goal which is 135 but I'm 20 lbs from the Dr. goal of 125, he acutally wants me down to 120 but I told him he's crazy! I can't wrap my head around being that small. These last ten pounds are not wanting to come off either. I swear I'm going back to the liquid diet for 2 weeks to see if that helps! I think it will make me tho! But I have to get a way from the freakin snack fairy and the CARBS Dana

My pre-op goals was 150, which is still the same. My surgeon's goal is like 132, which is way to little. I'm 83 lbs. from goal. I'd like to be there by next summer so I can have plastic surgery. I'll be happy w/150. I haven't weighed that little since the mid 1980's. I could get into a size 7, 8 back then at that weight. Plastic surgery should take off the last 10-20 lbs., so if I get to 150, then take skin off weighing that, I might be at the surgeon's goal. I'm only 5'4 1/2" Karla 337/233/150

Hi Elsa - My surgeon never set a goal for me. So, I've set a personal goal of 199. (I really want to below 200 for at least one day - that's not bad for a guy 6'1") Right now, I'm at 282... down from 417. That's 83 lbs to go. Be Well, -A.J.

Elsa!! Yes, my DH likes the cushiness, too! I couldn't get too very skinny (not that I'm in any danger) or he wouldn't be pleased! I don't know what my Dr's goal is--I'll ask him on Thursday when I see him. I think I'd be very happy between 150-175. I realize that's a big range, but I don't know until I get there how I'll feel. I always said I'd be pleased if I ever got under 200 and size 16-18-- now I'm there and I want to lose more! so, about 25-50 pounds to go for me! Thanks for asking! Cathy

HI Elsa, I am 38 pounds from goal. I am at 218 and feel absolutely great. What will 180 feel like?!!!? I am in a 16 at 218 I can't imagine what size I will be in another 38 pounds. I hope I do not get too skinny God Bless, Jen

I started out at 245. My Dr.s goal is 141.. I'm 28lbs from that. My personal goal is 130 so about 40lbs from that. I weigh 169 today. Wearing a size 8 levi jeans and a large to exlarge shirt.

HI Elsa, my personal goal has always been 135, my surgeon did not set a goal for me. I am 59 pounds from my goal. Karyn

Hey Elsa I was 276 the last time I weighed and want to get to 175. So I still have 101 lbs. to loose. I feel so silly saying this and most of you guys are so close to goal. Everyone keeps telling me that 175 is too small for me so it might change. I'm only 5'4 so I think it will fit me just fine. 175 has always been my goal. My surgeon's goal for me is 185.. 91 lbs. to go til I get to his goal. My partner likes me a litle thick too. Kay
