My BMI is now in the 30's!



Recommended Posts

Wohoo! I went for a fill yesterday and my surgeon told me that my BMI is now 39! I have a longggg way to go, but it's the small things that keep me going!

My next goal is to get my BMI down to 35, which means I've got to lose about another 15 kilos.

This is all so exciting and it's happened in under 2 months! :)

My BMI started at 45.

What did your BMI start as, and what are you up to now?

Thanks :-D

I feel great! My boobies are getting saggy, but it doesn't bother me...No one's really going to be looking at those besides my fiancee and he doesn't mind.

Speaking of which, my ring is getting a little loose! Woohoo! :(

Wren...on the boobies issues. Give it time once you get to goal. I'll be 55 in two weeks and after losing all the weight they looked like tube socks with tennis balls in the toes. I made sure that every waking hour I wore a good stable bra. Two years later they are sitting up nice a pretty. Never thought it would happen but I attribute it to a good underwire and 3lb weight exercises each day.

And, on the skinny thing. (Not offended, thank you). I am actually at a pretty good weight for me. I am very smalled boned and weigh about what I did 31 yrs ago today on our wedding day. After getting to goal and upping my calories, my body just got back to it always used to be. I had such a sucky metabolism during menopause and now it's freakishly the other way. I'll take it though.

I just use the word skinny as a 'gotten to goal weight' type of thing :rolleyes2: Someday I'll be skinny, but not 'skinny', if that makes sense.

On the boobies issue: I dunno how I'm going to feel in a year but at the moment it doesn't really bother me. I went into a changeroom after aqua aerobics about a week ago and there was an old lady in there that had nicer knockers than me...I felt really happy for her and it kind of made me giggle...I'm not sure why it doesn't bother me...Maybe because I know that no one will be looking at them besides me and my partner.

My best friend is getting a boob job next year...This is after two rounds of liposuction. I just don't get why she can't wear a padded push up bra? It's not like she's going topless or that she goes swimming. I support her regardless and think it might have something to do with her confidence and her partner finding her as attractive as when they first met...It's not much of an issue for me, but having firm tatas will be a bonus in the future if they ever do harden up a bit.

Cheers

I am in an over 30 yr marraige and hubby thought I was cute at any weight. Sometimes I think the acceptance of ones own body is a reflection on being in a loving relationship.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
