Hello to anyone bothering to read this,
My "story" may be unusual. I am already one year and twenty days out from surgery/post-op. I have never really looked into blogs, etc. until now.
My weight on surgery day (12/24/2014) was 217 lbs and my current weight is 156.8 lbs (I am a little bloated from PMS, sorry if that's TMI lol)! Things generally are going fine and well. My doctor has been thrilled, saying I have lost the highest threshhold of "excess weight" typical for the sleeve procedure. I am now in the "normal" BMI range, although on the higher end to be fair.
So, I guess I am writing to see, if I am nuts. My MD/nutritionist/other surgery support team have in a very tactiful way, that I probably should not anticipate losing any more weight. But, in a perfect world, I would like to be a little further down in the margin for my height (5'6.5"), so closer to 140 lbs. Is this unrealistic?
Does anyone who is further along in their weight loss/surgery process have any insight? Has anyone lost *that* much of their overall body weight? Notwithstanding some little extra tastes along the way of the holidays and a slight execise slowdown for that time frame, I am just trying to consistently stay active at the gym at least three days per week and eat lots of protein/take those Vitamins.
If anyone has any tips/thoughts/etc. for these last 16 (ish) pounds in my push, I am very open!
Have a nice day!
