Down more than 20 BMI points!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Today, I noticed that i am down from a starting BMI of 53.9 and now I am at 33.6! Not only this, I am 8.5 pounds from the onesies and 38 pounds from goal. The band is truly amazing and if you work with it, it is possible to get to a more normal BMI. Having gone from Super Obese to Severely obese to just obese and shortly to Overweight, the band has saved my life.

Babs, congratulations!! That's a major achievement and the best thing--it's permanent!

Mary, the little "smilies" you're seeing are part of the collection you see when you post a reply. Click on the "get more" link and a little window will pop up showing more smilies than you see at first. They don't all work, unfortunately, but the bunnies and bananas do.

      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.
