6 Month Check-up

Hello Board, i went to my 6 month check-up with Dr. Gibbs and he said I was doing great. Still waiting for my blood work to return from the lab. I have lost 128 lbs so far. have went from a size 30 to a size 16 so far i still have a few more pounds I would like to lose but i am happy at 186 from 314 lbs shoot who wouldn't be?!! But the doc said he didnt see why I wouldn't achieve my goal that i still have 5 more months of losin to go but it will be slow which that has already happened but that's ok with me. Congrats to Susan and denise on all the weight they have lost also. hey Susan I saw you in Dr. Gibbs office we were there at the same time but I guess I didn't know what to say so I just read a magazine I didnt know if you would recognize when they called my name to go back or not but i guess you didnt but anyways it will be alright.

Tina, you're doing awesome!  128lbs!!!!!!!!!!!  I just now made it to 88lbs. lost BUT I was a lightweight to start with.  I know you're loving that size 16...I'm in a 12 and I LOVE IT!  If I don't lose another pound I'll be happy..but I really would like to make it to goal. Let us know how your labs turn out!  Keep up the good work, you're doing great!

Wow 128lbs in 6 months!!  Congratulations that is wonderful!  If you don't mind me asking, what was your pre-op weight?

Tina, I'm so sorry I didn't see you at Gibbs office!  I wish you would have said something to me, I would have loved to talk to you. Congratulations on a wonderful first 6 months.  WOWWWWWWW  128 pounds is such a short time.  I bet Dr Gibbs was super pleased with you. I bet he's right.....there isn't any reason you can't make your goal.  Look at me, I did it with a bum foot, four surgeries on it and not able to walk for almost 3 months.  If I can do it, you sure can!!! Keep up the super great work, and next time we're in the same room, please talk to me

I was 314 lbs before i went into surgery.

My labs weren't so good. Of course my iron and B-12 is super low. So i will start taking B-12 and Slow Fe which is iron daily. But it'll be ok it's to be expected not to have perdect labs evrytime shoot I can't eat enough.
