I just had my sleeve 2/15 and have no idea what would be an appropriate weight loss goal? Any suggestions?

I had gastric bypass August 2015 and usually go with a goal of about 10-15 lbs per challenge. The first couple of months I lost 25 lbs then it slowed down a lot for me. I'd say start with a low goal and if you lose more great versus starting with a high number and feeling disappointed. Just remember everybody loses at different rates and not all bodies are the same. Some like me have less weight to lose while others have more so be patient with yourself. In my case, although my weigh loss has slowed down significantly I'm still losing... I'm at 80 lbs after 6 month. I think that's within the percentage my doctor said I would lose. Whatever you do, do not compare your weight loss with others. You will hit stalls or plateaus but they will pass. Good luck in your journey.

TY! My instinct was to stick to the 10-15# range. I want to be realistic. I'm older and expect I'll lose more slowly than someone younger than I am. I'm also perfectionist enough that I want to put down a believable number (be it high or low). I'm probably the only person who worries about these things. I also expect to hit that third-week stall everyone talks about during the challenge. Let's hope it doesn't last too long!
