WOW stepped on the scale this morning to see the numbers 164 if i take that with my height shows my bmi at 24.2 in the normal range no longer overweight i may be a guy but i'm about to cry never in a million yrs did i ever think i would be normal weight wise. In one week i will be 6 mos out had rny on 8/22/12

one thing i notice is a lot of bmi calculators are slightly off from each other but they all put me under 25

It's nice to be normal. To wear normal clothes, fit in an airplane seat and have the seatbelt reach around, to know that you finally fit in! Congratulations. I can't wait!

I wanted to say I had a similar milestone today. Im a week post op tomorrow and I've dropped 3 BMI numbers and I'm out of "morbidly obese" and just "obese" now. Still a long way to go but a step in the right direction!

      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.
