I think the BMI scale sucks lol. I went to the weightloss calculator the other day and it said if I was 179lbs that I would be at my bariatric goal, but I wanted to be at 140 initially then I switched it to 150. I think if I loss 50 more pounds I would look weird but I actually need to lose somewhere around 100 to 102 more pounds..... I say just go with what feels and looks right

You look amazing!!! Congrats!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's do the happy dance!!!!

I'm in the same boat. Everyone thinks I'm a total b**** now.... Me and my mother argue everyday about how bad my attitude has gotten. I'm almost 3 months post op and I don't know when my hormones will return to normal levels..... sigh lol.

Look at you!!!!!!! You are doing great!!!!!

That is awesome! I know the feeling, I remember looking at myself in the mirror a few days after surgery and being amazed at the instant changes.

I switched my birth control pills: Loestrin24fe to LoLoestrin(lower dosage of estrogen) and my weight loss has stalled and I even gained 5lbs, I've lost 2 of them, but it just occurred to me that the two things happened at the same time. I wonder if they have anything to do with each other????

I totally gained 5lbs in like the last 2 days, I'm so upset. I've been in at the gym everyday this week. I am very frustrated. I finally hit 60lbs down and gained 5.... my body is crazy.
