No longer morbidly obese!



Recommended Posts

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/

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.

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!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
