Under 215 n bmi 36 anyone like this?



Recommended Posts

I am 5'5" starting weight 212. My bmi was 35.5.... I was just sick of the endless diets without success . I just had my surgery on Friday and I feel it was the best decision for me. It's your body...no one can tell you how you should feel. If in your heart you feel your ready to get off the roller coaster....do it! Good luck to you..whatever you decide.

PS...interestesing side note, the next day the doctor came in and said my stomach was not that big to begin with! He only had to make 4 incisions and gave me a size 32 bougie

I'm right there with you 5'2" 211 BMI 38. I was afraid of being denied as well but I have at least 3 comorbidities. Trust your surgeon he wouldn't put you all the prep work if he didn't believe you weren't an idea candidate.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
