9 month checkup and 'healthy' BMI range



Recommended Posts

Went to the surgeons yesterday for my 9 month follow-up (technically its been over 10 months) and received 2 high-fives and a hug from my wonderful surgeon! He said that my BMI was finally in the 'healthy' range! 98 pounds lost so far and he could not be more pleased. 2 more pounds until Im in the 'century club'!

Things just kept getting better...went to Old Navy and bought a pair of super skinny jeans and took a photo of them side-by-side with my fat jeans that Ive saved for comparison. Wow.

All in all, it was a great Monday :D

Congrats, I so appreciate hearing about people that their weight comes off slowly but it does come off. I lose slowly too, so you give me hope that I can lose all I need to even if it takes me a couple of years.

Yes TJL Im a slow loser for sure. I thought when I got past the 6 month mark that it would slow down even more and it actually picked up a little. Strange I know but Ill take it lol.

HOW IN THE FLIPITY FLOPITY IS 98 POUNDS IN 9 ( or 10 ) MONTHS SLOW?

Nicely worded lol. I think 'slow' is relative compared to the rate that others tend to lose. Its actually 98 pounds since I started my journey. I had to do a 3 month medically supervised diet prior to surgery. Post surgery Ive lost 78 in 9 (or 10) months. Sound better?

Still not slow! It all counts. That is a steady respectable weight loss.

You have done very well young lady!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
