I started the year with a BMI of 56.3 and now am at 46. I am 13 weeks post-surgery and have lost 55 pounds so far. I was surprised at how quickly your BMI improves.

My surgery is not until the 16th, but my BMI is 55. I am hoping to be able to lose enough weight to be in the "normal" range.

I am on my phone and cannot see my ticker, but my BMI was 51 (I think) and now close to 40. I have a lot more to lose, but I have been so happy with my results so far.

That's so awesome! I'm really excited about having surgery! I'm private pay so I can't have the surgery until I get all of my money but I'm shooting for October, and I'm so ready! My bmi is a 52 and I'm hoping it comes down drastically!

I can't wait to be in the "normal" range. That's my true goal. To not be morbidly obese, obese, or even overweight. But normal. I have to believe it's possible!!!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
