9 month checkup and 'healthy' BMI range



Recommended Posts

Went to the surgeons yesterday for my 9 month follow-up (technically its been over 10 months) and received 2 high-fives and a hug from my wonderful surgeon! He said that my BMI was finally in the 'healthy' range! 98 pounds lost so far and he could not be more pleased. 2 more pounds until Im in the 'century club'!

Things just kept getting better...went to Old Navy and bought a pair of super skinny jeans and took a photo of them side-by-side with my fat jeans that Ive saved for comparison. Wow.

All in all, it was a great Monday :D

Congrats, I so appreciate hearing about people that their weight comes off slowly but it does come off. I lose slowly too, so you give me hope that I can lose all I need to even if it takes me a couple of years.

Yes TJL Im a slow loser for sure. I thought when I got past the 6 month mark that it would slow down even more and it actually picked up a little. Strange I know but Ill take it lol.

HOW IN THE FLIPITY FLOPITY IS 98 POUNDS IN 9 ( or 10 ) MONTHS SLOW?

Nicely worded lol. I think 'slow' is relative compared to the rate that others tend to lose. Its actually 98 pounds since I started my journey. I had to do a 3 month medically supervised diet prior to surgery. Post surgery Ive lost 78 in 9 (or 10) months. Sound better?

Still not slow! It all counts. That is a steady respectable weight loss.

You have done very well young lady!

      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?

      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.
