Realistic Goals

[TiffanyLoren 2]

So I'm only a couples days out from my surgery and was thinking of setting my realistic

Weight goal... What are y'alls goals and how much should I aim for realistically?

I sometimes wonder if the goal I picked is realistic or not. I have been a "big" girl for over 20 years so dont know if I am setting myself up for failure or not. I have set a goal weight but it isnt set in stone. I am just gonna see where this wild ride takes me and go from there. Honestly just want to weigh what my drivers license says I weigh! ha!!

:-) yeah I have no idea what's realistic... I've always been small I weighed 135lbs before my kids four years ago but I'm 270 now :-/ I'm also frustrated bc it's only a few days after my surgery but I'm so swollen I can't wear any of my clothes :-(

A few months before my surgery I researched all about the weight loss process and my goal was to loose 25lbs in the month of my surgery, including 2wk liquid diet and for every month after that my goal is to loose 10lbs a month.

I was 263 when I started and now (a month later) I'm at 228, 35lbs down, so I'm ahead of my goal but for the month of September my goal is to still loose 10lbs and keep that number.

My real goal is to consume enough fluids, nutrition and calories, I almost forget its about the weight loss sometimes...

I am 6 days post op and on my surgery day I weighed 253. Yesterday I weighed myself thinking Hey it's almost been one week. Three scale said 238. Which is awesome! I am hoping it will be similar to my Dr scales. Bc you can only use one scale and go by it. I want to lose a total of 100lbs. I want to weigh 150. Makes me all excited thinking about it! I think 10lbs a month is realistic. The first two months possibly 20lbs each. Your swelling should go down soon I didn't have that happen to me so I really don't know. Good luck with your journey!
