I no longer qualify for bariatric surgery...and I'm thrilled!

Just looked at my BMI and it's 34.9. I'm no longer heavy enough to be a candidate for bariatric surgery (but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat). I will say it hasn't been easy. I still struggle getting enough liquids every day, but I can finally drink more than a teaspoon at a time without pain. I don't always get in enough protein, especially on those days I'm running my kids all over the place. I'm trying to get back into exercise, but I haven't had much energy since surgery. But despite all that, I'm thrilled to be down almost 57 pounds.
