38 BMI and only 75 to lose



Recommended Posts

Ratios are pretty close to the same loss believe it or not. I was surprised to see the scores. I'm sure you are good and tired of being poked at and all the hearing that goes with surgery. I wish you luck and I hope this works for you. I'm sure it will. I give you credit to keep on trying????

I wish you luck moebeth! My think is I don't have any symptoms other than what they're saying so I'm really wondering why I can't get the sleeve. Meeting with my doctor in 3 weeks to discuss. Has your doctor turned in all of your things to insurance at this point? Do you have a lot to lose?

I'm on Medicare. I have my support meeting and my dietitian meeting on the 24th and I have my PCP appointment on 1 March and she's going to finish the letters. Then they send it for approval at that time.

I have 100 pounds to lose. I would like to lose 120.

Hiya, my BMI is 38 & I'm 106KG (234lb). I'm having bypass due to Type 2 Diabetes & a cardiac condition.

I've lost 6kg since the start of Jan & my surgery is in 2 days time. I'm so scared!

I'd say your definitely making the right decision for yourself. If you ever need to talk I'm here for you. I know it's very scary. I keep trying to look at the end like a year from now and how good we will feel! Hang in there and message me anytime!????

Hiya,

Thanks for your message. I'm 3 days out and at home resting up. The soreness is going away, but I've been very emotional and thinking wtf have I done. I know the beginning is difficult...I just want to eat normal food again. It's also a hassle crushing all my meds, dissolving some and having to inject a blood thinner twice a day to prevent clots.

I'm sure it will get better and my attitude will improve lol

Oh I'm so glad your on the other side at this point! I'm sure the beginning is extremely difficult. I can't imagine what your feeling. Just know there are a lot of people here who have been thru what your feeling. I will talk with you anytime you need or want to.

I still ask myself is this really what I want. Your going thru such a huge change. You also feel like crap but each day you will get stronger and better and before you know it you'll be telling me how amazing you feel and look! Hang in there. ????

      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.
