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. 😝🚩🌈

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
