I think that's why my surgeon didn't set a "goal"

For me.. That number was picked by me because of the info you put on this site.... Hey it's Alex's fault!!

***Laura runs to get a pitchfork to lead an uprising against the man***

This surgery was about getting healthy.

I'm off my meds I'm not going to kill over from a heart attack anytime soon. Oh an I look damn good compared to last year... GOAL!! :D

Oh.....NSV for me today. Went to a public pool this afternoon and got in without feeling like I needed a shirt on. First time ever. Gotta love Texas weather .....hotel pool in November.

Yes I was showing off the abs. I paid for them, I'm showing them off.

I'll bring the sugar free pudding pops and plates to the party. Who'll bring the napkins and cups?

Stop bragging about your great Texas weather, just got of the phone with my cousin. She was going on about being in a tank top, and not needing a jacket, blah, blah, blah. Lol. I can't wait until my wife and I move down south. Can't take the northeast winters anymore.

Really? I'm in the midwest and we've been singing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald all day. I'd take the northeast today!

Goal is where you are happy. Not your mate, friends or family members, but YOU. And it's definitely not decreed by a BMI chart! So, Laura-Ven, welcome to life at goal! I love it here. What are you giving yourself for reaching goal?

I like that chart, at 47 and 149 pounds it puts me at a "normal" weight.. A member here posted it and I actually saved it to keep me in check.. They had a men's version too, I wish I had saved that one also

I'm 49, 5'4@ and 151 at this time. Trying to get to 140. At 11 months out it's going really slow. It's rally hard.

I know! That's why this chart puts it in a much more realistic light..

I'm a year out, so I'd say you've done awesome :)

I know. I have family who live in the Midwest. We're also dealing with heavy rain and winds. Best to you.

As for Butter, I was joking with him after speaking with my cousins in Florida, Texas, San Diego, and New Orleans about their respective great weather.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
