No longer morbidly obese!

[JuliannaJ 83]

Now I am just "super obese" thanks to the 14 lbs I lost since surgery 6 days ago...clear liquids does wonders for the waist! Too funny that I am happy to be super obese! Can't wait until 195 lbs then I am just "obese", then from 160-190 lbs I will be just overweight! I am 5'7".

There was a talk show on today and the host (Steve Harvey) said the problem with all of this obesity is that we call it by fancy names instead of just calling it what it is, FAT. If we went back to calling you fat versus obese, it might make people want to fix it....of course he is a little chubby, or thick...oh I mean fat so it was sort of funny he was talking like that.

Congratulations. However I think you have the levels backwards because "Super Obese" is a BMI over 50, "Morbid Obese" is over 40. http://www.livestrong.com/article/177142-bmi-for-super-obesity/

I think you are right, the web site I used was wrong! So am I now just obese?

Technically you are obese class 2 but most people combine class 1 and 2 and just call it obese, I personally think the class 1 and 2 are stupid since it makes it more confusing and they are only 5 percent each.

Well I guess I am just fat...lol...obese does make it sound "different" and "better" somehow....lol

Yes, I think when I saw a doctor write in his notes that I was a morbidly obese female is when I snapped. Nobody is gonna call me names like that! Lol! I'm looking forward to moving down the fat ladder as well. Congrats!!
