My First Real Victory In 2 Months!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved almost 2 months ago (2/6/12) and I just realized today that I hit a huge milestone!!

I plugged my height/weight info into a BMI calculator and my BMI is now 38.8. When I got my surgery my BMI was 43.8! I am no longer in "Very Severely Obese" and am now just "Severely Obese". I no longer qualify for surgery with my insurance company!!!! Thank goodness I already got it :D

In just 24 more pounds I will be under a BMI of 35 and be classed as "Moderately Obese"

HORRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hooray! Good for you! You inspired me to check my BMI (which I haven't done since surgery 8 months ago!) - And I went from class 3 (morbidly obese) to class 1 (regular obese)! Thanks for sharing your victory!

I may not be seeing much in the way of scale movement but that was SERIOUSLY awesome to see! It definitely kicked me to want to work harder.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
