How much weight did u loose? Im at 30 BMI and although I'm trying to eat MORE I think I'm stressed about organising this surgery and the scale isn't going up - worried ill get to Mexico and after 3 days of liquids ill go under and they won't do it ...

Hey hey Woman! I'm maturing did you not see my "big fat people" thread (shameless plug people) I've gotten mellow and philosophical

Can I join Team Laura, please?

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

We have a fondue place here at the end of the meal they bring you a fondue pot full of melted chocolate with various thing to dip including SNICKERS!!! Wrong on so many levels!

But good!

The Melting Pot? Have one near me, the dinner was ehhhhh, the dessert...oh my!

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!

No it's called "La Fondue" in Saratoga ca.

It's actually a really nice place, but I won't be going there for a while

Oh, and this thread is still an abomination!!!
