My bmi was only 31 and I was sleeved September 25, 2013. I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out but I'm loving my sleeve.

I was sleeved 5 months ago with a 34 bmi weighing 185. Today my bmi is 25 and I weigh 144. It is much slower for us since there isn't as much to lose and my skin isn't bad at all. Good luck to those with upcoming surgeries. You will do great!!!

I have a low BMI and I really want to have this surgery in February. The problem is that my husband is very much against it. He says I can lose weight without surgery. I told him he was right! I can lose weight but I can't keep it off! I have lost the same 50 pounds over and over again. I am so tired of losing weight and gaining weight and feeling ashamed for gaining it back.

Would love to see a section for people with low BMI that is having the surgery.

Thanks!

That's a great idea! My suggestion would be to start your own Low BMI Support Group. This will automatically create a forum as well as a place for all the low BMI members to connect and support each other.

My BMI was 35.9 when I first met with my surgeon in June, 34.8 on the day of surgery. I am 3 weeks out and have lost 12 lbs since surgery, though I have been in a stall for the last week. Hoping it breaks soon. I don't expect to lost fast due to having a lower BMI, but not losing anything so soon sucks. I am not freaking out just yet though, seems a stall around 3 weeks is common. I am sure things will get moving again soon.

It would be "here" if you click on the link he gave you you can create a group.

There are many subgroups here like my 5:2 group.

Good! If you can get it up and running and show people how to join it's really a great thing, because you will be all going through the same things without outside chatter :) It's what I like about the group I belong to, it doesn't get derailed by off topic stuff..

How do you do that? Where do you get the password?

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
