6 months post op- july sleevers

I was sleeved on July 9th and I am down 104 lbs. Things are going well although I'm at a plateau right now. Certainly doesn't help being the holidays either!!

That is good every good im 23 plds away from goal weight

My dr and I used the BMI chart too. I thought once I get to the top of normal BMI I could reevaluate.

That is the interesting part. No one from the surgeon team has discussed a goal with me since I started the weight loss surgery journey, including back from first seminar. I made the assumption that the BMI would be good to target for my height, but I would like professional guidance so it can be an informed decision. I hope that the topic should be discussed at the 6 month appointment in my post op support program.

When I started my journey I wanted to lose 100 pounds I have currently lost 105 pounds looking to get to about 160-165 now I past my goal of 100 pounds of weight loss at just 4 months I am now almost 6 months I went from 280 pounds to 175 pounds I have not tried to lose Any more weight after reaching the 175 pound mark now looking to lose another 10-15 pounds I have been eating whatever I wanted not paying attention to what just the amount I have not lost anymore weight but I have not gained anything either for the past 4-6 weeks today I decided to go for the remaining 10-15 pounds so I will achieve that goal soon

I am aiming for 160-165 pounds I am 5 foot 9 inches tall now at a 30 inch waist but pants are lose on me I started at 46+ pants I refused to buy any larger waist than the 46 inch I would only wear sweat pants or baggy fitting clothes
