When I weighed today I was 164 pounds! I weighed 220 pounds starting out and I am 5'2", and so my BMI was 40.23. I was in the "morbidly obese" category. I am so happy to say that my BMI is now 29.99! I am still overweight, but no longer obese. Was anyone else this happy to be overweight??? LOL! I feel kind of crazy being this happy, but I am down to a number that I haven't seen since I was 16 or 17 years old! Can't wait to be in the "normal" range! I am only 14 pounds til my first weight loss goal of 150. It is so weird being where I am, though. I never could see myself losing the weight before surgery. I just didn't feel like it was possible and I thought I would be big forever. Even after surgery I felt like I may lose a little weight, but it was so hard to believe that something like this would happen to me! I am more than happy with my surgery! Best thing I ever did for myself hands down! :P I carry most of my weight in my belly and back...I started losing the weight in my legs and stuff first...can't wait to get rid of my belly so that I can shop at Papayas and just fit into smaller shirts! I started my measurements four days post op. I wish I would have thought about measuring the day before, but unfortunately I missed that opportunity. Here are my measurements before and today:
