I'm at 284lbs, I started at 388lbs in January, I am 93lbs away from goal weight in less than 3 months since my surgery was June 10th, I have met and exceeded all my milestones, including my gym milestones, my next one is to hit 250lbs by December, and hopefully my goal weight early next year, I also want to try kayaking soon, but here is my question for veteran sleevers, what happens after my goal weight, I have some ideas but I want to know if they are on track or off,

1. Maintain or exceed my goal weight long term.

2. Modify my diet to include grains and carbs in a healthy way.

3. Keep taking my Protein since I work out with weight training.

4. Set times to reflect on where I was before surgery to never forget and stay grounded.

5. Be there for someone who wants support going into surgery and guide them through their first few months.

I really want honest feedback to how good my after goals are, you won't hurt my feelings, I was really fat and pretty much nothing anyone says discourages me anymore, I want to see what others have accomplished since hitting goal weight, I need to have goals as part of my routine......

Sounds positive and sensible to me!!

I am not one for making goals but think people like you are my heroes.

I say a job well done !!

I'll perhaps use a few days to consider your question and see whether there is something I would like to make a long term goal. I'll share once I conclude.

All the best

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
