Thanks everyone! She has been walking, the nurses told her she definitely won the walking race at the hospital. I told her everyone's recommendations. I am just a worry wart older sister. I hope to have my surgery the 2nd week of June.

I had one and they told me it was common with bariatric patients if they had any little bit of Fluid in lungs. I had to kick up the use of my spirometer. Good luck to her and what a great sis for seeking support/answers.

I am in!!
Start 217
Current 197
Goal for June 21- 175lbs
That's 22 pounds!!! Here we go!!!

I'm afraid I'd end up with a goatee I have so much extra skin! LOL

I don't think it's a myth. All other things being equal including exactly matching diets, someone with high BMI would lose faster than someone with low BMI.
However, it's only one factor - all other things are not equal. There are variations in each person's metabolic rate,. There are variations in diet, both in calories and in the balance of Proteins, fats, complex and simple carbs. Activity levels can vary greatly, as well as types of activity (cardio vs strength training, for example). Are there health problems in play? Gender plays a role in how quickly weight is lost.
So, while I don't think it's a myth, I do think it's over-emphasized as the driving factor.

Congrats, you are looking HOT!
But the down side is, with a slimmer neck, you're more vulnerable to vampire bites!

Oh ok well I don't swallow gum so I'm good.

DOS 2/25. Down 25 lbs since DOS. Stalled the entire fourth week. Barely reaching 600 calories. Not reaching Protein. Going to be more mindful and try to correct this starting tomorrow. I lost 22 lbs per-op. I've gone from a size 28 to a size 20.

As long as we're complaining can we start a thread on how to spell losing? I can not get over all these people loosing weight! I wanna know what loose weight is!!

Loose weight is the extra jiggly stuff that flaps in the wind.

...and starting one's period immediately before, during, or after surgery.

I understood grazing to mean eating small amounts of food all day. Never having defined meal times. I don't think Lexysdad is grazing. Generally it take 20 min for our brain to register satiety. If you eat a serving of food and wait awhile to see if you are satiated but find that your not, then it seems like eating a bit more to reach satiety should be ok. None of us want to eat only to then still be hungry.
