Ok, this label "Super Obese" !?



Recommended Posts

3 weeks out from bypass....BMI got below the label "Super Obese", did not notice the exact moment that occurred :D Darn, first time in my life I was labeled "Super" and I just threw it away. Speaking of labels, "Morbid" -- I think we need new labels.... I am going for Small Giants, Giants, and Really Big Giants...

Oh - haha. I thought someone labeled you as obese so you put on a cape and became Super Obese.

I've heard it all...been called morbidly obese, big as a house, five by five, fat as a whale, two ton Tessie, etc. I am now in the normal weight range based on BMI and any other determinating criteria and thankful and grateful as can be. My life is so much better in every way imaginable.

Congratulations on getting "Un-Super-Sized"! The BMI chart I used, had me starting at Class III Obesity. Since I liked to make (and achieve) every possible milestone, I celebrated: Class II obesity, Class I obesity, Overweight, Normal Weight, every 5 pounds lost, every 10 pounds lost, every 5 pounds left to goal, every 10 pounds left to goal, every quarter of the way to (or from) goal, every third of a the way to (of from), halfway there, and every one of the last five. And, of course, every shirt or pants size. It's insanely obsessive, but it makes it fun to achieve so many milestones. And by "celebrated", I mean with a fist pump, not a treat. :rolleyes:

Oh wow. I just realized that I started out super morbidly obese. I passed through morbid obesity and now I'm merely obese.

Just a wisp of a lil' thing, I am.

I have always hated the term "morbidly" obese as well. Cheers.

Too funny!

I am just a few pounds short of leaving obese class 1 for overweight! I plan to Celebrate as I started in the obese class 3 category.

I love to Celebrate all the victories too and I plan to party hard! Maybe I will have some extra carrot sticks that day! LOL

I've always giggled at Gabriel Iglasias' "5 levels of fat". "Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and DAYUM!"

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
