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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
