High BMI sleevers weight loss amounts.



Recommended Posts

Wow, I am so proud of all of you high BMI people for tackling your obesity! I started over 50 BMI myself and I think getting away from all or nothing thinking has been critical to my success. If you lose significant amount of weight (fill in your number) you have really achieved success. I was genuinely inspired by the goal to improve mobility..what a gift. Truth is many high BMI peeps won't get to a"normal" BMI, but so what? Such improvements in health,quality of life, clothing choices, energy, appearance!!!...strive for success and Celebrate them all without seeking perfection.

I started out with high bmi, was 370 preop, lost 19 pounds to 351' then had surgery September 2, 2014. My current weight is 281. I did have a1 week stall but since have still been loosing. My doctor said to be prepared for stalls. Mi think that is pretty good for about 3 months. Good luck to all.

      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.
