I’m now OBESE CLASS 2 at 261 pounds!



Recommended Posts

In spite of my goal being 250 pounds (soon to be 200 after I reach 250) I’m thrilled to have dropped out of the Obese class 3 category. Normal weight is not to far off now!

I was not sure what that meant so I used a search engine.

It seems that 40 and over is "OBESE CLASS 3".

Well, guess what, my BMI fell under 40 just last Saturday, six days after my 62nd birthday.

Once I dropped under 124.7 kg (275 pounds), I had made it.

At 124.6 kg, I was 50 kg (110.2 pounds) under my weight/mass on the day I met my surgeon 48 weeks ago on Monday July 17th, 2017.

I'm batting for better than 1.000 by reaching more than 52kg lost by July 16 (52kg in 52 weeks).

Cheers to you and your achievement. Your post prompted me to look it up and find out that we both transferred an obesity category at about the same time. (I remember when my BMI was 61+ and when I did not expect to make my 60th birthday!)

I went for my exercise assessment today (friday 22nd June) at noon and weighed in at 122.9kg (270.9 pounds).

It's been a good couple of weeks for my shrinkage!

Wohoo! Looking good. Who thought we would Celebrate being merely obese? I just got to ‘overweight’ myself and was psyched. Keep up the good work!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
