6 mo.

I am halfway to my year of being post op. Thank God.  I have my six month checkup tommorrow and I am just nervous cause I haven't been doing my workouts for like a month and I am not at the point that my Dr. wanted me to be right now.  I have been doing some stuff that I know I shouldn't and now I am gonna have to face the reality of how it is effecting my progress.  Where were you @ when yoiu got to your six month mark?

I am basically just a little past my six month mark now and I am doing ok.  I wanted to have lost more weight but I am generally satisfied.  I feel pretty good.  I am exercising everyday; something I never did before and it appears that my body appreciates the effort (even though I hate it).  I no longer take medications for all of my co-morbidities.  I have a long way to go but I believe that it will happen in good time as long as I work it like I should.  

I understand what you mean about having to face reality.  I had not weighed in a long time and was worried about where I would be.  My doctor did not give me a specific goal but I had an idea in my mind where I wanted to be and I knew that I was not there.  But all in all, things are ok. 

Good luck tomorrow!  Look at it as another chance to get on with your new life.  Take stock and move on.

tighten up.

Refocus and do what you need to do.  You know the loss varies from individual to individual.  I always thought I was a 'slow looser' and at six months out I may have been down 50-60 pounds.  Best wishes to you.

Thanks, I guess I'm ok I have lost over eighty.

Heck, you are doing fabulous!  Keep up the good work.
