I am not setting a goal weight! At our clinic they use the term "best weight " that is when you are eating in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and your body stops losing....that way you will never feel disappointed if you don't reach a certain number on the scale.....every lb lost is a victory for me so I don't ever want to feel like I failed Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon strongly cautioned against any travel for at least a month after and by then you are back on regular food so your energy should be back up....we have brought food and drinks into the park before with no issue so shakes should be fine....and we also kept a cooler in the car so we could go out and get food and drinks so you shouldn't have any issues Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app
