    I am wondering that same thing. Maybe when I get to 200 pounds, I'll want to go to 185, or bulk up to 215... I'm not sure at this point. I have not weighed less than 200 pounds since 1985 when I was 19.

    I feel good where Iโ€™m at. I think lifting weights has made my weight seem high. If I just had done cardio I probably would weigh less but I donโ€™t think I would feel as good. My knees are definitely thankful lol

    @Moving Mountains. you look amazing! You are so close to goal as well, or are you happy at 190? I keep wondering if I'll end up happy at a different weight than I've set as my goal.

    Thank you! I feel good at this weight so Iโ€™m not to concerned about my goal right now. I do a lot of weight training so I know I have a lot of muscle and that weighs more than fat so Iโ€™m taking my time getting to my goal.

    I've noticed that the post-post-op diet (that's how I think about the way after LOL) is like a Keto or whole30 diet. Which is great. I followed whole30 for about 60 days a few years ago and found it very helpful.

    Did you notice that your tastebuds changed after surgery? Many of the people that I have talked with post-op (my mom, friends, co-workers) have said that as time has gone on they find themselves craving different things like shrimp, crab, various other Proteins, instead of sugars and carbs.

    Yes my taste buds have changed. Iโ€™m part Italian so bread and Pasta used to be a staple for me. I have no desire for bread and little for pasta. Except I did have Gnocchi at Christmas time. Lol. I love fish so thatโ€™s a plus with trying to do keto.

    Once I reach my goal I will reintroduce carbs and treat myself. Everything in moderation.

    Iโ€™m having a hard time to plan my meals I know Protein is the first to get into our bodies and good fat is what my nutritionist told me. Iโ€™m 10 days post op from the sleeve. Iโ€™ve lost 15 lbs my first week. I just want to get the tool to use in the right area and not blow it but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I can make me that wonโ€™t be so hard??thank you I appreciate the help.

    For me when I noticed how much better I was feeling and looking it became more important than what I love, to eat. Lol. I changed the way I look at food. It is now something to keep me alive and not a crutch. Donโ€™t get me wrong I still like to eat but Iโ€™m making better choices and keeping junk food away so Iโ€™m not tempted. Look up Keto recipes there are tons of them. Plus keep easy meals on hand so if youโ€™re ever in a hurry you donโ€™t grab something bad for you. Hope this helps. Good luck and stay strong!

    Thatโ€™s amazing! You look great where youโ€™re at, but goal is goal ! Can you provide any nutritional or meal plan tips? I know what my nutritionist gave me but itโ€™s so much easier seeing what other people are eating lol

    I try to stick with Protein and veggies. Iโ€™ve added Protein Bars and nuts for some change. I did cheat on the holidays though. Breakfast is cottage or omelette or Protein Bar. lunch some kind of salad. Nuts or cheese for a snack. dinner any kind of meat or fish really whatever I have a taste for. Hope this helps ๐Ÿ˜Š

    WOW! You look incredibly healthy! I saw in previous replies that you stick to a lot of Protein and veggies as well as weight training. Your arms look fabulous and strong! When did you start the weight training part of your journey?

    Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š I started weights about 4 and a half months after surgery. I was nervous about being completely healed from the surgery.
