Opinions on goal weight

Another thing is you are still early out so you probably go lower than 170 without even trying. Just keep doing what you are doing as see where you get by the 18 month mark.

I'm only 2 months out and my surgeon hasnt even talked about any goal weight.  My highest this past fall was 383.  Seriously, I would be happy to get to 190 (from 383?? heck yeah!)  anything after that would be cake.

I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for a huge improvement in my health and yes my physical appearance, but no I dont have to be a size 6.   I will be grateful wherever my body decides "enough is enough."  (so long as it is not more than a couple of pounds over 200).  lol

My doc never set a goal weight.  I started out somewhere around 330 and I have always had 150 in mind as a goal.  That said, I am just at 2 years out, am 45 yo, and bounce between 165-175. ( I know 10 lbs right, crazy!!!)   I work out daily, and honestly I pretty much eat whatever I want with in the rules and occasionally have a treat. Ok, lately I have been having a LOT of treats. ;-)   That said, could I weigh 150, probably.  Do I want to?  Hmmm, not so sure anymore.  I have completed multiple half marathons, am starting triathlons this year  and will finish the year up, God willing, with a marathon.  I am frankly, THRILLED where I am.  I enjoy my life right now, and for the first time that I can EVER remember I am not thinking about losing weight.   Just keep on keeping on and you will figure it out. Keep a goal and see what happens.  Remember where you came from and DO NOT feel like a failure if you can't make some "magic" number
