The Numbers Are In!

I had my 6-month post op visit today and wanted to share the exciting and not so exiciting news.
 
First the good:
Weight Loss = 91.2 pounds
Waist = Lost 3.3 inches
Hips = Lost 6.7 inches
BMI reduced by 12
Blood pressure down from 150/95 to 126/77
 
Now the bad (but manageable):
Vitamin D is low, so I have another prescription to take to get that up.
Iron is dangerously low.  Should be around 20, mine was 8 so I am now considered anemic (as was my mom).  I actually found this to be positive as it should help with my long desired and much wished for hysterectomy!  Anyway, I have another prescription for iron to help that and will follow up with GYN to see about removing those unused (and unnecessary) parts.
 
So overall, a good checkup.  Thanks to everyone for your support.  I was cautioned heavily that the weight loss greatly slows at this point and not to lose focus or determination, so keep encouraging me please!
 
Hope you see less of me soon!
