This thread has made me so grateful that my surgeon and nutritionist didn't set any deadlines for my weigh loss and set a pretty realistic ultimate weight goal (with no target date). My nutritionist is much more focused on body fat percentage than weight as well, which is nice because I have been doing a lot of strength training and, while the inches keep dropping, the scale is going sooooo slow now.

It was only when I took a heavy parcel to the post office and noticed it was the same as my weight loss total to date that it dawned on me how much I had shed. I was happy with that figure, the bariatric nurse said slow and steady was good, the nutritionalist seemed OK, only the consultant tore a strip off me. Do they all think their skills extend to motivational speaking? Most should stick to slicing and dicing.

Alcohol is fine and won't hurt you but they are very high in calories. A bit occasionally is fine but u will it lose weight and will gain weight with too much alcohol. One margarita can have as much as 800 calories. That's a daily intake for most. So keep that in mind
