Oh good for you fella... that pesky BMI eh?

I had an interesting converstion with my doctor (not my sleeve surgeon but he doesn't agree with the BMI chart) this morning... she told me that if I got to a BMI of 25 I would be too thin and it wouldn't really benefit my health or my 'looks'... so, now that both my doc and my surgeon agree I feel that a weight has been lifted off the BMI thing. What was good to hear is that they both agree that I should aim for a weight of around 10st 7lb- 11 stone - 147lb- 154lb - which is a really good feeling. I am soooo close...

I am waiting to see your goal post, 'cos I have a feeling that it will be here very soon!!

I wish all of us could get together in a stadium somewhere, and have a superbowl half time spectacle - dancers, airialists, bands, and each of us that reached goal could run through the giant hoop and break through the image of our fat selves as we run into the center of the celebration. Reaching goal is AT LEAST AS IMPORTANT as playing the superbowl. You WON the rest of your life back - as a healthy person. Congrats on enjoying the fruits of your labor. You look GREAT.

      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.
