Just got back from my 6 month check up for my Gastric Bypass surgery. Everything is going GREAT! My surgeon said that most people lose 60% of their excess body fat in a year, and at the half year mark I am already 5 pounds away from that mark. He said this means that I will most likely be in the smaller group of people who lose 80% of their excess body fat which means I will likely end up weighing between 140-150 pounds by the year mark. I am SO very excited. My weight loss is slowing down now since I am half way there, which is normal, he also said my hair loss will slow down soon too, THANK GOD! lol The most important thing he told me is to remember that right now my body is working for me...losing weight on its own and I don't really have to do much to make it happen...but once the year mark hits and the weight loss stops then it will switch to me having to work for my body. I will need to make sure I don't get complacent and lazy and start eating more fats than I should, or eating the wrong foods, because that is how people gain the weight back. And of course, I need to be active!!! There is NO WAY IN HELL I am screwing this up...so I am not worried. :)
