Low bmi after surgery story

[sal86 4]

First i would thank everyone on this forum for sharing their stories and i think it is my duty to share my story after the surgery.

So let me start with i am foreigner so maybe my english is not perfect but as mentioned above i think i have to share my story!

Lets start..

I am a low bmi(34) and i could not find an information about low bmi'ers success stories.

My had my surgery on 24 of February 2017.

I am 31 years old with a pear shape body( most of the fat are in my hips). Also , i had high cholesterol and blood pressure which was the final straw that make the surgery a must.

I have tried different type of diet and exercise over the past 15 years with no success.

The surgery went smoothly and i did not get any compliments.

The first month is the most important if you want to be alive. After the first month the life will be easier.

I have lost around 35 kilos over the past 6 months and i am maintaining the same weight(70 kilos) for a month(i think cause i increase the Protein intake). My fat went from 34 to 17 and muscle decreased slightly from 39-34.

Before the surgery i wear 38-40 w jeans now i can wear between 32-30.

For the t shirts went from Large to small.

After the first two months i return to my routine, trying to eat more protein and veggies along with exercising.

Maybe the only issue i am having with the surgery is the low sugar, and i thinks it is caused by not eating enough food, which i think i am doing.

Also i found my self eating protein/veggies/rice faster and easier than bread( specially burger bans)

However, i wanted to ask about the portions, i think i eat a big portion in short time,

Lets say i can eat a half chicken breast and 4 spoons of rice in less than hour, i am not sure id its ok or i have to change my eating behavior.

Yeah , my eating behavior has been changed after the surgery i began to eat slowly and chew the food well.

So i can summarize the above in points:

- to have a successful surgery make sure your doctor taking this matter in a professional way, he should discuss why you need he surgery and why it is a must. He should understand your behavior and know your history.

- make sure you follow the doctor instruction for the first month

-try to adjust your eating behavior, if you love chocolate then have a Protein Bar chocolate flavor and so on.

Thank you guys

Congratulations on your surgery! It sounds like everything is going wonderfully for you!

Do meals usually last for an hour where you live? Here in the US, meals are typically eaten in 20-30 minutes.
