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 .

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
