Has anyone came down from a BMI of 50 or higher? What's your BMI now?

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
