I would straight up buy some ankle weights and wear them. I don't care who bashes me for saying so. It's so close. Don't let this door close if you have decided this is what is right for you.

Try to scrunch down when they do your height, I did and it made then put me 2 inches shorter which raised my BMI.

I'd eat something high fat/salt to make myself bloated. Very uncomfortable, but Water retention packs on the weight.

Just because your BMI is 39 doesn't mean that you don't deserve a tool that will ultimately help you achieve optimal health. My BMi is 40 and is my highest ever now due to a broken ankle last year. Actually that is what made me think surgery when in the past I'd been against it. I love the gym and worked my butt off last JAnuary and ate no processed foods , stayed below 25 g of carbs and at an average of 1200 calories a day. It took me 5 months to lose 25 lbs and I felt good then Broke my ankle and BAM up 30 lbs. I looked at the last ten years of my life and realized its a constant battle and I've spent countless hours, money, effort and I'm heavier then I have ever been. Do what you have to do to be the 40 BMI so you can get the tool you need to succeed. I realize insurance companies need a cutoff but obese is obese and at 39 BMI vs 40 we have the same issues and just want to see results when we put in the work.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
