new to forum + bmi tracker off?



Recommended Posts

I'm new to LB forums -- so hello! My name is Becca and I was banded 6.8.10 with an Allergan AP S (10 cc standard) band. I have 3.25 cc's in my band thus far. In total I've lost 135 pounds since the start of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. My HW was 325 and my lowest weight was 188.2. My goal is 145. I'm currently at about 189-190 pounds, so I have about 45 pounds to go to reach my goal. I'd like to do so by 11.11.11. If I don't make it by that date, I don't really care...it's just something to work towards!

I just wanted to give a quick introduction of my weight loss journey.

I'm not sure how often I'll check in here - but I just wanted to get started.

Thanks for checking in!

Also, quick question -- is anyone else's BMI tracker off? Mine says my BMI is 35 something, when it is 28. Hmmm..

Thanks and take care!

Bec

Congratulations of your awesome weight loss. Looks like you just celebrated your 1st bandaversary, and are very close to goal.

I think that you have a very realistic goal of 11-11-11. My only caveat is that the last 30 or so lbs go slower because you a re getting smaller and the closer to gaol the harder, it seems. Good luck. Karen.. And welcome to the forum!

I noticed the same thing my BMI is around 42, and it also says that my BMI is 35. It must be stuck at 35.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
