Who's morbidly obese?



Recommended Posts

<--- Not this girl! Woo hoo. Woke up to a 39 BMI this morning! At my highest weight My BMI was 60 and I was considered to be SUPER morbidly obese.. seriously who comes up with these terms??? Next stop, a demure "overweight".

Congrats! You just educated me, too. I didn't know the cut off for morbidity. My BMI is 37.7 now, so I join you in not being morbidly obese! I agree that is such a nasty sounding term to identify with.

Congrats! I feel like we are sisters! I too started out at a BMI of 60 (well, technically 59.9) and yesterday morning I weighed in and have gotten down under 40. It feels amazing!

I was told that I was acceptably over weight now....instead of morbidly obese..What does that even mean? :(

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
