My BMI

[a.walker 2]

Now this is a small victory, but my BMI is finally less than 40! Many of you sleevers never had a BMI this high, so you might wonder what the heck I'm celebrating, but I have been waiting for this! When I started my pre-op diet my BMI was over 48 and at my very highest weight it was 51. I haven't seen a BMI in the 30s for years, and I'm pretty darn excited about it (maybe more than I should be!). I also have less than 100 lbs to go to a normal BMI. I'm not 100% sure I'll get there, and my personal goal is to get to 175, but it seems more attainable now than when I was over 300. I love my sleeve!

That is a HUGE thing. As much as we all want to get skinny, getting our health back is the most important thing. You have done so well to get your BMI down. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the post you make when your BMI reaches normal! So proud of you.

Well done!! I completely understand it's a great victory! I know I'll be celebrating when my BMI is under 30, even though it will still mean I'm overweight
