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!

      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.
