I am not obese anymore!



Recommended Posts

I just had to share this with you ladies cause I'm just bustin'. I got a reading on my BMI from the calorie count website and it said:

Based upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 34.8, you are currently classed as moderately overweight.

I cannot tell you all how much I hate the word Obese! I hated being it. I am just so bless to have been able to get this lap band and learned how to live with it.

I am continuing to lose more weight and soon I might be "normal weight" Won't that be awesome??????

What an awesome accomplishment! I too hate the word obese. When I began my journey my BMI was at 53 and now it's down to 44. Can't wait to be in just the overweight category!! One day soon.

      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.
