10kg (22lbs) off a 'healthy' BMI!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I was sleeved on October 15 so I'm officially 6 months out and have lost 40kgs (88lbs). I'm so excited to be this close to a healthy BMI something I've never been before and I'm now within 10kg (22lbs) of this goal!

Is anyone at this point now or has anyone successfully hit goal and can share some advice and their experiences?? I am finding it difficult to drop now that I'm so close - yet so far!! I'd love to lose another 15kg even to bring me right down to something I'm happy with :-)

Also I feel a bit 'melted'...as in my skin is so elastic and stretchy - does this get better with time???

Getting hungry these days too... :-/ come on motivation!!!

I was sleeved 3 weeks after you and also down 40kg exactly! I have another 9kg to a healthy weight! I would also like to lose about 15kg more and then maintain ... how are u feeling?? Bet you're getting a heap of complliments :) I feel my confidence has improved but still see a fat person in the mirror!

From what I have heard the skin will def tighten up over a year of two. I strength train and have found it a big help!

Also feeling hunger and sugar cravings too ... GRRR. How fast are u losing now??

      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.
