9 month checkup and 'healthy' BMI range

[notmeanymore 629]

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

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!
