is it ok to be content?
Of course it's OK to be content there.
You get to decide when you are content. Not your surgeon, not anyone else.
It sounds like you're happy with the results of your surgery. You're off meds, you're pretty active, you feel good. It's possible you may go on to lose a bit more, which you say you're OK with too, but yeah, it's fine to be content now.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.

For me, the entire POINT of having this surgery was to eventually be content with myself, my body, and my choices.
Wherever that contentment happens to end up--size 12, or size 2--if I'm happy there and can maintain it, then I'll consider my surgery a success.
You should never have to get approval from anyone to be content with yourself. If you're happy, enjoy it, embrace it, and be happy.

thanks so much everyone, it was nice to get other opinions..i am really content at this point...i feel i have met my goals of this surgery...i am off all my medicines, i have lost 105 pounds, i have oh so much energy, way more than a year ago....some days i quite surprise myself at what i get done during the day with out even thinking...i am way more active during the day with dancing and just moving, before everything was just a chore..i have not lost to the drs goal weight, but i did not set a goal weight to be at....i will keep plugging along with the PLAN that i have been doing, and just see where we end up whenever that will be.. ha ha...
it is kind of a weird state of mind to be content, and just wanted to know if others are content too....
have a blessed day
