I don't expect to be down in the 130s or 140s. When I left my abusive husband and was literally starving on the street I weighed 159. You could see my hip bones and every one of my ribs. But 135 is the target weight for my height, and it doesn't account for large breasts (even back then I was a DDD) and wide hip frame. I'll be happy to reach 171 lbs, and content to be anywhere under 200.<br /><br />I'm at either 44% down or 32% down, depending on the "ideal" weight... the doc tells me I should be at 40, and I'm not doing as well as I "should" be. I'm not so sure. <br /><br />Also, what hasn't been figured in is that I lost somewhere between 60 and 100 lbs BEFORE surgery (I couldn't weigh myself until I hit the 370s because neither I nor my doctor had a scale that went that high). I wonder, then, if that will also impact my final weight and what I should expect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
