3 month Post Op Check

[michelle_e2006 33]

So I had my 3 month check today and my Iron levels are low (boo) my Vitamin D is dangerously low (boo) but thanks to LabCorp I noticed they both have been for almost 3 years! Oddly enough those doctors never said anything to me and now I'm playing catch up.

On the Bright side I am down 66 lbs!!!!!! I'm so excited and so close to onederland, I can taste it! Lol. I just wanted to quickly share my excitement because unless u have been in our position it's difficult for people to understand the excitement of even a 2lb loss.

Have a great one everybody!

Congrats on your 66 lbs!! That's awesomeness!! I am also 3 months post op but don't see my dr till 7/23. Wondering if he will send me for labs. My D was low before surgery and I've been taking it since then so hoping it's ok. We shall see.

Thanks! how fast the time goes right?! I've been taking all of my vitamins/supplements but still low on those two things. I hope your visit goes well!! My doc gave me labs paperwork at my 1 month and today he gave me more labs for my 6 month checkup. I feel like a human pin cushion lol

Congrats on the 66 pounds gone I can only hope that I am somewhere close to that at my three-month mark.

That's awesome and congrats!

Is the 66 lbs from your date of surgery or do you count in your pre op diet weight loss?

Thanks DaddyMarie !! The 66 lbs are from date of surgery. My surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet. Just the 24hours before surgery straight Clear Liquids.< /p>

I had my 3 month check up yesterday and the doctor gave me the prescription for labs. He said they will take like 12 vials of blood so I'm definitely not looking forward to that. On the bright side I'm down 48 pounds (in total) and my BMI is 27 so I'm very close to a normal BMI. This was very good news specially after being on a 2 week stall.

It's weird, every time I "exercise" even just a quick walking the dog around the block, the next day I dropped 2lbs. The days I don't exercise, I completely stall. If only it were that simple before surgery, right?!

I don't drink anything but Water and diet snapple when I want something different. I also keep to the minimal rule of 64oz of water/64grams of Protein daily my surgeon told me. Other than that I'm not doing anything special.

12 VIALS?! OMG that sounds like a lot. I only have 4 taken when I go. Well it's part of the process I guess. That is awesome, 48lbs! Nevermind your BMI!!! That is amazing. I can't wait for my BMI to be on the normal range as well. Not quite there yet but one step at a time. I wish you the best of luck and continued success on the WL!!

I know isn't that crazy 12 Vials!!!.. I hope he's mistaken because I think I'll pass out lol. I read what you said about exercising and loosing I have the opposite happen when I exercise too much I stall maybe because of muscle building but it becomes discouraging. You are doing great so keep up the good work. Good luck to all of us in this adventure!!
