Ok, this label "Super Obese" !?



Recommended Posts

3 weeks out from bypass....BMI got below the label "Super Obese", did not notice the exact moment that occurred :D Darn, first time in my life I was labeled "Super" and I just threw it away. Speaking of labels, "Morbid" -- I think we need new labels.... I am going for Small Giants, Giants, and Really Big Giants...

Oh - haha. I thought someone labeled you as obese so you put on a cape and became Super Obese.

I've heard it all...been called morbidly obese, big as a house, five by five, fat as a whale, two ton Tessie, etc. I am now in the normal weight range based on BMI and any other determinating criteria and thankful and grateful as can be. My life is so much better in every way imaginable.

Congratulations on getting "Un-Super-Sized"! The BMI chart I used, had me starting at Class III Obesity. Since I liked to make (and achieve) every possible milestone, I celebrated: Class II obesity, Class I obesity, Overweight, Normal Weight, every 5 pounds lost, every 10 pounds lost, every 5 pounds left to goal, every 10 pounds left to goal, every quarter of the way to (or from) goal, every third of a the way to (of from), halfway there, and every one of the last five. And, of course, every shirt or pants size. It's insanely obsessive, but it makes it fun to achieve so many milestones. And by "celebrated", I mean with a fist pump, not a treat. :rolleyes:

Oh wow. I just realized that I started out super morbidly obese. I passed through morbid obesity and now I'm merely obese.

Just a wisp of a lil' thing, I am.

I have always hated the term "morbidly" obese as well. Cheers.

Too funny!

I am just a few pounds short of leaving obese class 1 for overweight! I plan to Celebrate as I started in the obese class 3 category.

I love to Celebrate all the victories too and I plan to party hard! Maybe I will have some extra carrot sticks that day! LOL

I've always giggled at Gabriel Iglasias' "5 levels of fat". "Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and DAYUM!"

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
