Newbie to this forum
I posted this on the November surgery forum but thought I would share it with others who had a statring weight that was in my range
Well...I found out that my starting weight was 328 not 327 according to the docs records...I'll take it cuz that put me at an offical 60lbs lost! Woo hoo
Doc would like to have seen a little more of a loss (5 more pound to be exact to make it a -65 loss) BUT I feel wonderful, and my labs look spectacular. So, we went over everyhthing and I asked him "what should I be doing differently?" and he said.....are you ready for this....I am exercising TOO MUCH 
LOL
We talked about my routine and I'm going to make a few adjustments and see how it affects my rate of loss. I also saw the nut and went over my diet. She was very happy and said this sums it up: I'm consuming about 800 calories, 88 grams of protein (only 20 of which is from supplement WHEY), and my fat/carbs ect are right on track! I'm also doing great on my fluids and vitamins. So, I think things went quite well 
I'm going to continue to focus on eating properly, getting the right amount/consistant exercise, taking my vitamins/supplements, and drinking my fluids. I think I finally trust my body to do what it is doing...and I REFUSE to let the amount of my WL control my positive self image. 
I hope that everyone else has a positive and uneventful 3 month follow-up visit too.

Tanya,
Good for you! You are approaching this from exactly the right state of mind. Ultimately, we did this for a healthier life, right? The body can get healthier and really shape up, even though the lbs slowly melt away! This is still a tremendous achievement!
I'm 9 months out and will get my 9 month labs done next week, but, I feel fairly confident they will come back good as well. But, it is not without effort!
Getting serious about nutrition and getting in all your supplements and water as well as exercise is crucial to our long term success with this.
Good for you!
