BMI chart was created 120 years ago, before people knew what we know now. Someone mentioned Arnold Schwartzeneger been obese. Doctors now know for a fact that muscle weights more than fat. My advice, do not decide anything right now forever. Set first goal and once you get there see for yourself if you want to loss more weight or you comfortable with what you have accomplished. I’m also 5’6 and my initial goal was 140. Recently I was reading more about goals and looking at BMI chart, so I decided to change my GW to 110. As soon as did, scale hasn’t moved and I became more anxious. My HW 287, surgery weight 264 and CW 187. Having to loose only 48 pounds is sounds so much more easier and realistic for having to loose 80 pounds to achieve “perfect” BMI. Weight loose is a process, see how you feel 3 months after you have surgery!

Congratulations!!! You look amazing! Is this your weight goal or you plan on keep loosing weight?!

On my pre op diet I drank Protein Shakes to substitute Breakfast and lunch. 2-3 baby bell cheeses for a snack and lean meat for dinner. No Water while eating. Lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks!

Had the same problem. Metamucil, benefiber, Miralax never worked for me, even milk of magnesia. Glycerin suppositories did magic!

I’m 10 days post surgery and feel so much better. I have same symptoms, hurt even more when I was laying on my back, but trust me it does get better! It takes you so long to swallow all because your stomach is very swollen insides. Before when I drank it felt like needles. Just be patient! Every week you will feel better than before
