Finally At GOAL!

Saw my surgeon yesterday for my 1 year checkup/gall bladder removal post-op appointment.  I am down to 227 pounds.  That is a loss of 231 pounds in 13 months.  I started in a size 56 pants and am now wearing 34's and 36's.  The BMI calculator says that I am at 28 (started at 58) but the doc says to stop with the weight loss.  Said the BMI chart is only a guide and that the taller you are (I'm 6'3") the more skewed the chart is.  So I am supposed to start eating 5-6 times a day to stop the weight loss.  He also said that I no longer need the protein drinks since I will be eating more. I feel better than I have in 15 years.  This surgery definitely saved my life.  I probably would have been dead within 5 years without it.  But now I am looking forward to many healthy years.
