Any Low Bmi's Out There?



Recommended Posts

My BMI the day of surgery was 33.7, down from 42.6 when I entered my Bariatric program. When I visited my surgeon for my 5 week follow up last week, it was 29.

I'm 51 bmi start, down to 48 now, should be much lower in 10 months when sleeving happens, I'd love to check back in then to find out how you've all gone!! Tbh I think the only reason I can stick to this new regime so easily is knowing I want to be as healthy as possible when I go under! Right now people think "OK she's heaps overweight she MUST need the surgery"... I wonder what it will be like when I'm more "normally" overweight?!?!

I was 32 and had high blood pressure. No insurance would cover me so I was self-pay with an amazing surgeon. I wish my insurance paid but this is definitely money well spent. 10 days out and my blood pressure is already normal again...

      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.
