I am no longer Super Morbidly Obese!



Recommended Posts

My BMI went down to 59, so I am "just" morbidly obese! Weird victory, butsince I started at 66, I'll take what I can get.

I hear ya on this and it is a great victory. I also understand that this is the only place you share certain things. My family, nor fiance know my weight, bmi, etc. Maybe when I get near goal I will admit it but not now! I was just calculating my bmi the other day to see where I fit now on the "obese" scale.< /p>

About 8 years ago I had an emergency appendectomy. Later I got the surgeons report from the hospital and was in tears as he wrote several times that I was morbidly obese, extremely obese, etc.... NO MORE!!!

I am very happy for you!!!

Wait until you go to just "obese" and then the jackpot of "fat"!!!

Your thread made me laugh - thanks!

Reminds me of when my sister called me after a DR. appt all upset because he called her "a beast". Took me a minute to figure out she misheard "obese". We both laughed at that!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
