I am wondering if anyone's Dr set a goal for them that they think is to high. My surgeon set s realistic goal for me of 175-185, but I'd really like to get in the 150-160 range. I see so many people on here who seem to set their own goals. My surgeon had me put my " dream weight"- 150, s weight I could live with happily- 175, and sn unnacceptable weight- 200. Just wondering how everyone set their goals. I was told average rny Wright loss is about 85% of excess weight, but so many seem to lose more. I'm. 5'10.... am I being unrealistic?

I agree. I have been over 300 #s for as long as I can remember. Even 250 would be amazing! It's getting close. I have lost 15 lbs so far on the liquid diet alone and I still have until thurs to lose more... Thursday is the day my life changes forever....

My Surgeon asked me what my goal weight was and I told him anything below 200. I've only seen the scale say 199 one time in my life and I would be so happy to see that again. That was the time in my life I felt the best physically. He says I should shoot for 180, but I'll be doing a happy dance at 199.9!!

My PT DR agrees with me on being 200/199. Some of us chicks just are large framed. In High School i was 165 and all muscle and still small. As long as I'm healthy, happy, active, and riding my Harley I will be smiling ear to ear.
