For the first time in 30 years I'm overweight, not obese.



Recommended Posts

The sleeve, along with a lot of hard work and determination, have brought me to a point I never thought I'd reach: Officially overweight and no longer obese. Wow! It's mind boggling. I haven't been here since I was 15 years old. I have about 30 or 35 pounds to get to goal and I'm 7 months postop. Weight loss has started to slow, though it's still coming off. I think I will make it to my goal eventually. My mind is blown.

Congratulations! Isn't it a wonderful feeling! I hit "overweight " recently, and it is great!!

Wooohooooo! Great job! As a nurse, I always think that my weight is listed on my medical records as morbidly obese!😞

I may never be Normal , in truth my dream goal will still be in the Overweight catagory at a 27 BMI but so what? It still beats a Super Morbid obesity BMI of 55+ and I now have a Fighting Chance to LIVE until GOD really wants ME instead of surprising Him by showing up EARLY. 😝🚩🌈

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
