    Low bmi

    I had my surgery on 9/8/15.....weighing 197, I'm now 147...greatest thing ever. I have more energy. I'm off all my blood pressure pills. I really feel great. I was in size 16 pants, I bought a pair 9. The pants fit when I left the store but 2 weeks later, the pants were too big... I'm not buying anymore until I reach goal.

    September surgeries!

    I was sleeved on the 8th of September. I find my biggest challenge is getting the water intake. Protein, I really have 2 shakes a day, plus I eat chicken, fish, tuna and plenty of nuts daily.

    Low BMI Pre-op nerves

    I truly understand where you coming from. I had a low BMI at surgery I was weighing in at 193 and I'm 5"2. At the beginning o really thought I made a huge mistake but as I was healing I realized that this was one of the best decision I have made, my entire life. I was like you.... I've been fighting to lose weight since I turned 21 years old. I have three kids and I'm 38 now. I also had many health problems to deal with such as hbp, sleep apnea, Borderline diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, Low iron, heart palpitations all the time. I chose to live and look good while I'm doing it. I had my surgery on the 8th of September. I now weigh 175...which is really good.... I say go for it and do what makes you happy.
  7. I was sleeved on 9/8. I had hernia surgery as well. Today I'm feeling better than I felt in a while. I'm curently 175 and before surgery I was 197.I haven't loss any weight since I have come home from hospital. I had many complications and still have a few like.... Getting all my fluids in and including protein.I can't poop at all. I have my 4week check up on tomorrow. I am so ready to exercise. I fight everyday for energy and I honestly think it will be better once I can exercise. Any suggestions on how to get all the fluids done daily and something that makes you poop but gentle on the belly?

    African American Sleevers

    Hello everyone! I had my surgery 9/8. I am 37 years old. I went in surgery weighing 197 as of today. I weigh 175 and I'm loving my body. I just want to know how do you keep your rear end from vanishing?
  10. OK I had my surgery on the 8th of September. I went in on Tuesday morning and went home that Friday. I had hernia surgery at the same time. I also had problems urinating after surgery. I went in weighing 195lbs. Most of all the nurses and doctors said I was too little for the surgery. I have dealt with health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, sleep apnea, I had to lose weight in order to be healthy. I was taking over 9 daily pills. My goal is to become healthy and lose weight at the same time. I want to wish you gull speedy recovery. Everyday gets better. I'm telling you that from experience.

    Surgery in September

    yes it's hard to get all the fluids plus the protein. I was weak and tired. I started taking b12 and vitamins And immediately started feeling better.
