Hey!!! I am ALMOST overweight!!!!



Recommended Posts

:)

I noticed today that my BMI is 30.9 and overweight is 29.9

I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!! I am going to be just overweight and not obese anymore.....YIPPEEEE...

I remember reading a post op note from a surgery I had in 2005 and the surgeon put morbidly obese.....I was appauled!!!!!!! How could anyone say that?????? I can remember crying after reading that!!!! That made me sick to my stomach that someone would think that about me, although I didn't realize it was the BMI she was referring to, it might as well of read, "This big fat lazy pig of a lady"!!! Now, I will never have to see morbidly, or even obese again!!!!!!

Excellent job! I cannot wait to be overweight! LOL! I think I'm in the "obese" category now . . . but I must admit that seeing the words "morbidly obese" about put me over the edge.

here's one for you . . . my primary care physician always dictates his notes into a taperecorder at the end of your appointment. So, one day he was dictating my notes while I'm sitting there waiting patiently to get my prescriptions, and he has to describe the patient first . . . (me) . . . "34 year old well nourished self-employed photographer" . . . THEN HE STOPS HIS TAPE RECORDER, BACKS UP, AND SAYS: "scratch that, 34-year-old OVERLY nourished self-employed photographer." UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was appalled.

ETA: My LB surgeon is sooooo nice he would NEVER do anything like that. At least not to my FACE! LOL!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
