Not to compare apples to apples, because you just can't with these surgeries...however, I started out at about the same weight as you, 245 and my surgeons goal is 160 (which I am 1/2 lb away from meeting), my personal goal is 145.  I am almost 10 months out from surgery. You will definitely get there!

Biggest piece of advise, as I approached goal, my weight loss obviously has slowed HOWEVER, my inches and body have changed dramatically. So even though I have only lost 15 pounds in the past 3 months... have gone from a 14 to an 8/10 in pants! I never ever would have imagined that. So, don't run out and buy a whole new wardrobe...buy sparingly and cheaply and wash often lol. And if something is too big now...buy the next smaller size because that's what's going to fit...for a little bit a least :)

We do have about the same stats!  My doc said 162, i want 145-147 or so. I am only 5' 2 1/2 inches tall..   Congrats on being only 1/2 pound away from your Dr goal!!  

Thanks for the advice on the clothes, inches, etc.  I got into a size 16 this past week (was able to "shop" in my closet..lol).   I love thrift shops, so that is where i will be doing the rest of my shopping until i get to goal..  then, i told my husband he better watch out..lol.

I hear ya! My biggest NSV yet was buying a pair of 8/10 JUNIOR size jeans in Ross for 9 bucks! I was stoked! I had saved all my "skinnier" clothes which were 16s for when I was "eventually" going to lose weight (presurgery mind set)...and then I literally blew right through those 16s! Keep on going!
