Low BMI and 10 days to go...what have I done



Recommended Posts

I have a BMI of 29 at -age 30, I started some research 3 weeks ago, and now I have a set in stone date in 10 days in Mexico. I am scared I jumped the gun. I read posts from people saying they wish they would of done it sooner, well here I am at sooner and I don't know if I should go through with it...although family history is scary, and I've never been under a size 12..ever. I am only getting fatter.

Best thing I can tell u is not to put pressure on yourself. Know you will be fine whatever you choose to do... And the choice is still yours! If u feel u r on a roller coaster, get off, and collect yourself. Be sure of your next move.

You have ALL the power in this situation.

You will know -- yes, you will -- when and if having WLS is right for you.

Yes this is a forever decision.

I came around to a decision of yes, the fat on my eyelid that I had previously cut out with a knife, is growing back. This eyelid fat reflects high blood cholesterol levels and goes hand in hand with heart disease and an early death. Time to grow up and get serious with a long term diet of eating less. Oh and vaping, I had to quit that. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
