I think it's agreed then.., we all feel better, enjoy better health now and look better than before? I declare us all at GOAL!!!! I'll bring the sleevers rendition of the "juice boxes"

I drink those shakes whenever I am on the go. I really like the vanilla shake a lot.

Don't know how I missed this - congrats butter you look great!

My sugeon said that once you are under about 28 BMI, you have gained pretty much the health benefits associated with losing weight. Again, everybody is different, he is just saying that from a health perspective, no need to fixate on moving to the normal catagory.

I would also be careful about bodyfat percentage. For our age range, I believe 25-30% is considered normal. Well, I think I am pretty muscular, I have visible muscles on back, shoulders and legs - but the home bathroom scale says my body fat is 28-29%. I would like to improve from where I am but i can't see that this info is accurate.

I think that the right goal weight is some balancing act between health/looks/maintainability. That combo is different for each of us. Not everybody looks better just because they are thinner thats for sure. .

      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! 😞
