I know one person who had a low BMI, 35 exactly... She has lost a great deal of weight, some think she looks unhealthy and is to thin and now she has hypoglycemia. She needs to eat constantly to take care of that. I guess it's how you plan on taking care of yourself. It's not just losing weight, but eating right and exercising to keep yourself healthy. Do it for the right reasons, HEALTH should be the ONLY reason. Vanity will get you into trouble. The best of luck to

you.

I had a BMI of 35, which is obese, and I didn't see it as low. After 6 weeks I have lost 15kgs (33 pounds) and my BMI is down to 29 (overweight). I had very bad knee pain and was looking at 2 knee replacements. Now, my pain has gone and I comfortably walk 4 miles a day. It was worth it and I would do it again. Good luck with your surgery.

I was so glad to read that the surgery has helped you knee pain. I have back pain and now added to that is knee pain, also facing surgery if I do not get this weight off. Lots other signs, blood sugar and cholesterol creeping up, still normal but I can see what is happening. Great encouragement, thanks.

      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.
