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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
