Simple! Don't tell them! I have told very few, it is my choice. As long as you have the support of whom ever will be with you in this journey why tell anyone? my BMI was very low like yours but, I was done with the struggle of diets, fad diets , weight watchers , diet pills!!!! This I did for me and so far I am very happy!! Good luck! -

I had low BMI as well. I was sleeved 1/25. Trying to do exactly as my doctor says.. I do find it difficult to get in my protein and do my liquid intake.. but I am trying!! I am down 24 pounds , I only had one week of liquid diet so I figure there was a six pound loss there.. good luck my friend -
I was sleeved on 1/25 and am down about 24 pounds . I only had to liquid diet one week so 6 pounds I attribute to that.. I am trying to incorporate some exercise now, mainly walking.. but I live in the Buffalo NY area near Canada , so our weather makes it difficult.. today is freezing rain , so a mall walk.. good luck on your venture.. I have no regrets ... protein intake is my worst enemy

I have a problem with them to but I am not going to beat myself up. If I can get 40 oz I feel ok with that. I do not want to make myself throw up to drink... remember it is anything liquid we intake, broth, water Gatorade (hate it ) protein shakes , decaf tea or coffee..

One of the worst parts of this is the liver shrinking diet.. it will pass ! Good luck!! -
Yes protein powder overload! At thirty dollars a wack! Do not like the taste of most!! I did not need gas x, milk of mag. Rolaids, and the vitamins my Dr office suggested make me ill! Also are thirty dollars fir a month supply! I changed to a women's multi vitamin ! Agree with the jello factor I now totally dislike it! Buy minimal and see what you like AFTER your surgery !! I was sleeved on 1/25 and feel good !

I had low BMI as well sleeved 1/25, I follow my doctors orders to the max. I also had a hernia fixed. I drink my fluids but my biggest struggle is the protein factor! I try my hardest but almost impossible. Everything I try I taste the supplements! I know there is no magic cure ! I only wish they would come up with protein shots !! Good luck all

I have no regrets my sleeve was 1/25, pain was totally bearable. If you get up and walk even around your dining room table it helps... my only concern is getting the protein in. Everything I try I taste the supplements, but that being said I am doing my very best! Just follow your doctors instructions to the max!

Try to be active and move around. My pain was totally bearable , if I took my pain Meds as directed. I do have a high pain threshold so I am fortunate...

Nothing tastes good with it! I put it in apple juice and that was the best I could do. After my one week visit to the doctor he said it was ok to take the capsules ! Good luck my sleeve was 1/25 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I am 6 days out and hope to enter the second phase on Thursday. A few more items and at least we can put them in our mouth and chew , not just swallow liquid! I too can not wait to eat chicken, eggs and fish but that is a few weeks away.. and it will be mushed! Good luck! I am so glad the surgery is over !! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery was 1/25, I also had a hernia fixed at the same time. Four days out and I feel pretty good, of course the normal surgery pain. I am so happy I did it. Now to heal and start some sort of exercise plan.. two days in the hospital.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
