txags got a reaction from Andrew0929 in Difficulty Identifying Final Goal Weight
A doctor friend advised the following: lose weight until people think you look too skinny, then go 10 more pounds. The main problem is that westerners are so used to seeing overweight people, that even at "normal" sizes, people look too thin. I've worked in Africa with very healthy locals. Extremely muscular, tall guys that weighed probably145. They did not look too thin at all. They all looked normal.
So, start ignoring your friends and family. Trust your brain and your doctor. You did all of the research, so you know what is best.
Good luck!

Hi, do you have a Whole Foods in your area? They have tons of organic popsicles and stevia sweetened Protein Drinks mixes that are all organic and I bet even vegan, tons of choices! If not, check online for organic naturally (stevia) sweetened items, Amazon has a good selection and there are tons of choices on MyBariatricpantry.com too. Google that stuff and I know you will find what you need.
