Who's morbidly obese?



Recommended Posts

<--- Not this girl! Woo hoo. Woke up to a 39 BMI this morning! At my highest weight My BMI was 60 and I was considered to be SUPER morbidly obese.. seriously who comes up with these terms??? Next stop, a demure "overweight".

Congrats! You just educated me, too. I didn't know the cut off for morbidity. My BMI is 37.7 now, so I join you in not being morbidly obese! I agree that is such a nasty sounding term to identify with.

Congrats! I feel like we are sisters! I too started out at a BMI of 60 (well, technically 59.9) and yesterday morning I weighed in and have gotten down under 40. It feels amazing!

I was told that I was acceptably over weight now....instead of morbidly obese..What does that even mean? :(

      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.
