Did anyone start with a low BMI? If so, I am curious how your weight loss is going.

Did anyone start with a low BMI? If so, I am curious how your weight loss is going.

I think my bmi was 33 at the time of surgery two weeks ago 3/21 ; 180 lbs preop ; as for weight loss :( is coming slowly coming off .
I'm 172 and eating itty bitty bites - I choke a lot - I feel full really easy and I'm mostly drinking protein water and protein shakes - .
I'm my diet I include everything I feel is bland and soft , even mushy - but regardless of the food consistency and eating slow - it gets stock and is very uncomfortable.
I rather do liquids so far .
I wish the weight would just melt [emoji12]- not moving much just yet - I came back to work 6 days after surgery so I'm walking , but not doing cardio or anything like that .

okay, we have similar stats. I'm 5'3". i was 183 the day of surgery. After 2 weeks I was at 173, but nothing since 17 March 2017. I cant eat much either. I actually gt really naseau. I went back to work after 8 days. Im still tired quite a bit,,,,,Some days my body just shut down. Good luck...I get a little sad

I had a Revision to MGB. I had a low BMI, today I'm at 7 weeks post op and the weight loss is extremely slow, lost 15 pounds. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong since there is a restriction but not as bad as the sleeve. I need to start tracking my carb intake, I'm sure that's the problem.
