Hi @MissT_SR,

The goal is totally up to you however since you are very fresh off of surgery, be kind to yourself and know that the first month or so can be really weird and unpredictable due to stalls, healing, fatigue, etc. So, my advice would to post a goal that is not too high but reasonable. Its truly up to you but perhaps 10-12 lbs? Some people lose very little the first month and I have heard of others losing 30 lbs in 2 months!! So, focus on healing and making your body comfortable. Congratulations on your surgery and glad to have you in the challenge!

Just try something doable go for 2# a week but don't get hung up on a number..u may lose inches and not pounds...u may supersede ur goal and that's a bonus

My weight fluctuates between 192-194lbs

9 week goal..hmm... 180lbs? Is that realistic? I'm not the fastest loser

Goal weight: 197lbs.

I never seem to make my goals, so we'll try for a super modest one!

Thanks for this- I think 10 pounds is reasonable and would put me in the middle of none and some :) I'm OK with that.

I'll go home tonight, weigh myself and post....

I have pretty much the same goal.
I’m 162 and want to get to 145, but everyone keeps telling me it’s too low and I’ll look sick...
How tall are you?

      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! 😞
