A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?



Recommended Posts

i want one!!!! i have to go to my father in laws work and get on there industrial scale for cargo!

Hi Guys!

I am not a supersized bandster, but like to lurk on this thread. You all are so inspiring !! I hope to have the same success you all are obtaining when I am banded.

Back when I was researching WLS, I went to an RNY support group meeting. They would have a scale there for the larger patients, because I am sure most of them did not have one at home. You may consider calling a few support groups in your area to see if they do that too. Much better than trying to jump on the scale at your father-in-law's work when no one is looking! :)

Congratulations are in order losingjusme!! Do home scales go up to 350? I haven't been able to get on one in so long I have forgotten. If so I might think about buying one... I just don't want to be a scale whore.

You can buy an "obesity scale" on ebay that goes up to 550 pounds. I bought one back in November so I could weigh in between doctor visits. Think I paid less than $50.

CONGRATULATIONS! I too will probably be a crying happy mess if I can just get under 300. Right now that seems almost an impossibility. I am still in the waiting for approval from BCBS process. My 37th bday is on 1/31.. maybe I'll get approved for my bday!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
