6 month post op, down 122!!
On December 10th I was 6 months post op. I went to visit the surgeon and have my blood work done. There were 2 flags on my blood work. My vitamin D was low and I am on a 12 week supplement to get that up and my cholesterol was flagged as LOW! That's a good problem to have! My blood pressure was great also without meds. I was still taking acid reflux meds and she said to start going off that to see how I do. So far, I am down 122 pounds from my highest weight and 85 from surgery. I started at a sz. 28 pant and 4x shirt and now I'm in a sz 16 pant and 1x shirt. My husband also had WLS before me and I really think that has helped us both SO much! I'm happy with my progress and feeling great! There is a progress pic on my profile, I can't figure out how to post here! :-)
I know how great that you must be feeling. Personally, I am kind of bummed lately that my weight loss is seeming to have slowed a bit at 9 months post op. I have had my labs done at 3, 6 and will have them done again on the 26th when I return for my 9 month appointment. My vitamin D is low every time but it was super low before surgery. Just keep up with your vitamins and getting your protein in. Try hard not to compare yourself to others, you are doing so great! Best wishes on your continuing journey
