So my 6 mo doc apt was Wednesday and my follow body composition was today.
Blood work
Blood work as all good.
B12 was high so cutting down to three times a week,
D was still low (but high for me and normal for New Englanders in winter) so she wants me to take two pills a day. Blood work showed blood loss (due to period issue) but only iron saturation was low. NP praised my diet and supplementing to be managing this so well (yay). Cholesterol was high, but low for me, and I wasn't fasting.
Everything else perfecto.
Body Composition
So I found and paid for, out of pocket, body composition visits. I had researched this pre-op and wanted things beyond scale and measurements to really ensure I am losing fat and not muscle - or - losing at the right ratio for health.
Happy to report that of the 69 lbs they show lost, 55 of it was fat and 14 was lean tissue (including the loss of 1/2 my belly). This is about a 3:1 ratio which I read was good.
Yay
Bow chicka wow wow.
