I went to a support group meeting yesterday and this is the first time that I have had my body fat taken in years. My fat free weight was 259 lbs. This means no matter what my body fat is my BMI will always have me as obese. I have also realized that a goal of 270 may not be realistic, so I have changed my goal to 300 which will put me under 20% body fat. Therefore at 6 months since my surgery I am about 1/2 way to my goal.
I have been lucky that I have never had food stuck at my band opening so no upchucking. I guess I am chewing my food good enough. I can definitely tell though when I should stop. It is key to remember that you do not drink until well after meals so that you can keep that full felling.
