Anyone end up with a normal BMI after weightless surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm in a 39 BMI and I just wanted to know if it was possible to reach a normal BMI after weightloss surgery. If you have, in what BMI did you start off on?

I started BMI 39..5 it's been 6.5months and at present I am 6lbs away from normal BMI So a total loss of 72lbs already. These last 6lbs are killing me so I would just like to hit normal once. Honestly I am so happy it's okay if I don't.

Look through the maintenance forum posts and look at the tickers at the bottom of the posts. You will be able to see the starting and ending BMIs very easily, and you will find that there are many, many folks here who ended up with normal BMIs after surgery.

Started my journey at 43.9 bmi

Currently just made it into the overweight category at 29.9 after 15 weeks :)

But I feel bmi is a vague scale based on what my doctor and dietitian says for my ideal weight I may not even get into normal bmi.

currently at 220 my ideal goal is 190 which is 25.7 so it's weird...

My highest recorded wt (242 lbs) was a BMI Of 48.8. My starting wt with my bariatric surgeon (229 lbs) was a BMI of 46. I just recently reached my "ideal wt" (117 lbs) which means 100% of excess wt lost and I have a BMI of 23.6!

      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.
