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. 😝🚩🌈

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
