Goal Weight!!

I'm within 4 lbs of my surgeon's goal weight for me. I am being told that I need to begin working on a maintenance food plan so I don't go too far below that weight. I've not been less than his goal weight since 8th grade, 13 years old...and I'm closing in on 56! Anyone else getting close to their goal by now? Can you believe we'll be 6 months out this next month? For me anyway, it's gone by so quickly! Have a great day! Cheers, Rusty 244/159/155...personally, I want to weigh 135

Wow Rusty, I'm really impressed! We started out only 3 pounds apart and had surgery the same day but you're 15 pounds ahead of me.... What are you doing? Julie

I wanna know too!! I keep fluctuating with the same 2 or 3 lbs....very frustrating! one day I will weigh 180, the next 177, day after 180..what gives?? Enlighten us o wise and wonderful Rusty Sherri C 242/177?180/140 RNY 2/16/04

Rusty, Congrats on being so close to goal! My surgeon's goal weight for me is 130, so I'm still about 40# away from that. The past 2 weeks I've been between 168-171 with a loss of 70-73#. Keep up the good work! Linn 241/169(today)/130

How exciting for you!!!!! I started at 305, currently at 202. Surgeon's goal for me was 180 so 22 lbs to go to hit that. However I am only 5'1"/5'2" and to have a normal BMI need to be between 100 and 130 lbs. So my personal goal (besides good health) would be 125 lbs I think. That would mean 77 more lbs to go. I'm losing 2 to 3 lbs per week on the average, right on schedule with what my surgeon wanted. Mary 305/202/125???

Congratulations! I still have 61 pounds to goal (mine). I never asked my doctor what she thought my goal weight should be. Another 61 pounds will put my BMI at normal. I'll be happy then(maybe). Again congratulations !!! Linda -63
