Wow - your doctors are so ambitious! Mine is very much of the view that it's up to our bodies and we can't predict where we will end up. He says that if I want I might get to a "dream" weight, but I have to balance that against how hard it will be to maintain. So if life is easier at a slightly higher weight and I don't have to obsess over every calorie then I might chose that path.

I think these doctors are just trying to push you. You may not hit their goal, but you'll have to work very hard to try so you'll end up doing better than you would have.

Anyone else feel like the "honeymoon" stage of weight loss is over? I really, really want to lose another 5kg (11pounds wish) but it doesn't seem to be happening.

I feel like my doctor continually being on the pushy side about how much to lose has to do with him wanting his overall patient weight loss statistics looking impressive. On one visit he told me he wanted me to lose 40 pounds by the next visit in 3 months. I had another surgery during that time which restricted exercise. I did not lose 40 but I did continue to lose even during that surgery recovery time so he was pleased when I explained all that to him. Even though he is pushy, I do believe he will graciously back off when I decide I am happiest with my weight, wherever that ends up being. That said, I just got off the scales and am ready to knuckle down again, maybe go back to Liquid Protein supplements for a few days and get way more serious about MAKING myself get better exercise. I have another surgery coming up in July so I want to make some significant progress before then.

I do really like your doctor’s very realistic approach about being able to reach a balance and maintain the weight we want. It’s way too easy to start piling the pounds back on. Carbs are too tempting.

My wonderful holiday to Sandals In Jamaica. This time last year I never dreamed that I would be able to wear a swimsuit and feel normal. I love my sleeve

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
