Goal weight?
Based on the BMI chart, the range for Normal weight for someone 5'8" is 122-164 lbs.
I am currently on the low end of the normal range for my height so am below my initial and updated goal weights. Will I stay at this weight? Hard to say since I am only 15 months post-op so not sure if it will be sustainable long term. What I do know is being so slim has made a HUGE difference with my joint pain and mobility. People also think I look good, which is nice (and amazing) to hear. But some people who knew me as fat are now thin shaming me, calling me skeletal, and yet my doctors are fine with my weight. This is definitely a journey and one thing I've become is much kinder to myself. I am so much better at not using mean/negative words about myself in my head. I have not replaced my own personal fat shaming language with any new words. Good luck on your journey and finding your sweet spot.
