6 Mo. Surgaversary

I had my 6 month check up yesterday.  What I learned was that my own goal of losing all of my excess weight in 6 months was a little unrealistic.  I mean, I *knew* that, but that was a goal I'd set for myself.

All of my blood work was great.  My diabetes is in remission.  Cholesterol and triglycerides were the best they've ever been.  Vitamin levels were perfect.

I was told that I had lost more, percentage wise, than they typically see at 6 months.  So that made me feel good, too.

23lbs to go...my new goal is to reach this goal by my one year check up. 

I am SO HAPPY I had this surgery!  It has improved my life in more ways than I can count.

Congratulations! You are an encouragement to me just 4 weeks out!

4 weeks post-op.  I think I've all ready blocked that period from my memory!  It gets so much easier...

Oh by the way - you might want to fix your ticker.  I seriously doubt you have that much to lose, lol.

Congrats!  

I've found that, for me, time-based goals are a recipe for feeling like a failure.  I know I'll get there eventually, the when isn't so important.  

Congratulations GwenMo, that is awesome!

Time doesn't matter since this is a lifetime adjustment.  One day at a time and we will all reach our goals. Bes tof luck to you!
