Low BMI is it possible



Recommended Posts

I had a BMI of 31 when I had mine done. I don't regret it. I have dieted all my life and it is a struggle, every year I have watched more weight stay then what I set out to lose. I am only 2.5 months in, I have lost 33lbs. My sleep apnea is gone and I am hopefully going off my high blood pressure meds! I feel so much better. There is a Facebook group for low Bmi!

My BMI is 29. I'm going to do it. The hunger that goes with dieting sucks. I eat the right foods and exercise is how I lost 65 lbs so far but I am constantly battling the gurgling and want more. It just plain sucks. If the tool is available why not do it.

I had a BMI of 29 and was sleeved in January. I'm from Canada but had to go to Mexico cuz no doctor in Canada would do it.

My weight loss has been pretty slow, down just over 20 lbs in two months, but I'm okay with that.

I don't regret the surgery one bit.

I was very active before and struggled to lose the weight, and the few times I was successful I just gained the weight plus more back within a few months.

I was a binger and although I still have cravings sometimes, I can only eat a small amount. In the past everyone always told me dieting so strictly was bad for me and that's why I binged. I always knew I just had to learn to eat treats in moderation, but without the sleeve it just wasn't possible. Now it it finally is!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
