Lower BMI patients



Recommended Posts

So I'm looking for stories from lower BMI patients about their weight loss after surgery. Those people who like me have less weight to lose before hitting goal. Let's say 100 lbs and less. Do we hit a higher % of excess weight? Does it come off faster? Anything that you'd like to share about your journey ......

I started my 6 month diet at just a smidge over 40. I was down to 34 just before starting my 2 week pre-op diet yesterday. I was so sure I wanted to have the sleeve but my pre-op diet is so nasty I'm considering giving up. I can only have 4 New Directions products a day and zero calorie non-caffeinated beverages. I don't mind the bars but I can barely choke down the shakes, Soup and pudding. Week two I can't have bars and just thinking about having to eat 4 of those other items makes me want to puke. My nut said "It's only for two weeks".

Ive never been able to obtain a reasonable goal weight and have always gained back everything I loose plus more. Do I keep choking down that crap for 12 more days (costs about $100 a week) or just keep on the diet I've been on for the past 6 months?

      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!!
