I read 12 pages then couldn't go on in this thread but I still wanted to comment so forgive me if I'm off subject!

I'm a 25 year old with a starting bmi of 56.

What rubs me the wrong way with low bmiers is that without therapeutic intervention I feel like its just continuing the cycle of disordered eating.

For me, I went to therapy often for two years before the survey and I still go every 6 weeks. None of the issues that got me to morbidly obese were food related, the sleeve is and will continue to be a tool that has helped me lose 90 pounds in 16 weeks and will continue to help me lose another 110 to get to my goal bmi of 29!!

Suggesting therapy is not an insult, therapy is giving yourself a gift of self love and setting yourself up for success. I have met low bmiers who had the surgery for the right reasons and worked on their issues concerning food and its not my place to judge or preach but my advice to you is to set up a support system that goes above the basic calories invests calories out.

This surgery is a tool, designed to increase quality of life

You had to continue to use the anti nausea? I thought that was just from the anaesthesia when u first have the surgery? I had a breast reduction 10 years ago but that's the only time I've been put under - I don't remember nausea ... But it was a long time ago

They prescribed me a anti nausea med. it dissolved under you tongue. I took it just on case.

I am now on Prilosec (pill form). I have another two months of this med.

I was also just prescribed a gallbladder stone med. my surgeon asked if I still have my gallbladder and then wrote a script.

I am now 30 days post opt. I have lost 33lbs since surgery and 41 since pre opt diet.

The biggest thing you said that was correct for all people is. "This surgery is a tool, designed to increase quality of life".

With that said does it really matter what you BMI is.

I do recommend going to the support group.

Recommending a support group is WAY DIFFERENT to someone saying "you need mental help" hahaha ... I don't think I'd go to a "group" maybe a one on one would be better for me. With all the flack on got on here about my weight, imagine after the surgery walking into an over eaters group?! ... Lol

Come to think of it when I had my wisdom teeth out 20+ years ago I think I threw up in the car on the way home. Ok I'll ask for anything they can hand out - to be prepared for what may come - thank you! & that's great numbers - well done!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
