Yayyyyy the "shorties club" lol how much do you weigh?

I'm 256 and so ready to get this weight off of me. My nutritionist suggested I set my goal at 125lbs because of my height but I can't imagine being that small. If I get down to 140 I'd be over the moon!

See I'm literally at the border line at 200 lbs. Nurse said do not lose anything until my consult lol first time in my life I'm trying to keep weight on! I would love to be 140 that's my ideal though I know the bmi wants us at 125 lol can't see myself 125 either lol

Im sure you will get approved, they office knows how to deal with the insurance so leave it in their hands. I have the same thyroid condition and that lead me to diabetes, I was getting worse and even my kidneys were taking a toll. I had my surgery 2/11 and I am down 18lbs. Be positive, everything will work out. Best of luck!!!

Thank you, I'm super nervous about my consult and I'm scale obsessed to make sure I don't lose a pound. People around say "o you're not fat just chunky!" Excuse me but to me it's the same thing. 4'11 and 200 lbs size 16/18 bottoms and xl/1x tops is nowhere near my ideal. Just tapping my feet doing my consultation count down :-)

Keep in mind that they will use your BMI to determine if you are eligible. Uf you are 35 or over you should be good

I thought if you were not at least 40+ BMI then you had to have at least one comorbidity for lower BMI?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
