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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
