Doc goal vs My goal

[show1980 38]

My doctor wants me to get to a max weight of 200 pounds. I am currently at 240, 6'1 and feel 200 is too low. I feel my goal should be 220. Should I just wait til I get to 220 and see how I feel? Has anyone else faced this slight disagreement with their surgeon?

Yes me....I don't want to be 150 my personal goal for me is actually between 180 to 200....I have 2 friends we were same size before our surgery... 1 of them 140 the other one 180 and looking at them I honestly know I wanna be 200.....

The surgery is done, what you do at this point is up to you. I agree with your first thought, get to where you want to be and then decide.

I am doing the same as MowryRocks suggested. I am going to confirm my goal when I get closer to it. If I feel comfortable at a higher weight I'll stop there. But I do plan to lose about 10 lbs more than goal to account for regain.

I honestly liked my figure the best at 220. I was super curvy with a small waist and I could wear plus and regular sizes.

However, knowing that people gain weight as they age and still being a relatively young person, I have decided to lose as low as possible. So I have some bounce room to still stay under 200. So even though physically I am not interested in being smaller. I am shooting for the top of normal BMI so I have some wigglexperience room in the future.

I kept moving my goal. The habits you develop are supposed to last forever, right? So I'm sticking to the same diet and when I stop losing weight, I stop losing weight. I thought 210, then 200, then 180. Now I'm at 162 and wondering if 150 is possible. If there's an ounce of extra body fat on me, I'm assuming I can take it off.
