I had my six month post op today...a little late because of some mix ups at the lab. I have officially lost 66% of my excess weight...116 pounds down so far. The doctors office set a goal for me of 160 pounds, so 20 more to go! I doubt I will be happy at 160...but they did raise a good valid point in that BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass or excess skin...so I will decide my exact goal when I get a bit closer, and see how I feel and look. They were EXTREMELY happy with my progress thus far, saying I was well above the curve. Another positive was my vitamin levels were all really great...my iron was on the low end of normal but that is my normal! One other thing is my protein was on the low end of normal...so I'll still try to maintain my 100-120 grams a day...Thanks for listening!

Great job girl!! Definitely a late visit That is beyond awesome what they said and I am SO glad your vitamin levels came back good!!! That is probably the one that makes me the most nervous (so I got mine checked early at 5 months post-op). You are kickin' major rear with the weight loss, very proud of you!!!
