weight loss may be slowing down but

what ive noticed is even with a slower weight loss my waist is losing inches. Ive learned as my bmi gets lower the rate of weight loss decreases. I should be fitting into a 36 waist pants comfortably in one more week, they are just a little too snug yet. Im hoping I can get down to 165lbs my current weight is 198lbs. But I do remind myself that in the process of the wls and reduction of weight my blood pressure returned to normal, I dont take meds for diabetes anymore, Im hoping that I will not have sleep apnea soon. I know i still have it because i recorded myself at night sleeping to hear how i breathe and snore. the good news is that even with the recorder on voice activated only it only recorded about 1.5 hours of interrupted sleep patterns. So I believe I am getting better as far as the apnea is concerned. I do my 3 month check in this week with the nut and surgeon. then a week after them I do bloodwork with my pcp and i will find out what my a1c is also my cholesterol levels. I hope i can get off the cholesterol meds soon.

We're on a similar boat. I'm off my bp and diabetic meds, but I'm still on cholesterol meds and still have sleep apnea. I can't wait to get off of this CPAP machine for good! I'm hoping to lose a good bit more weight before I go back to see the sleep specialist to help me get off this machine. Congrats on what you've accomplished thus far!
