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??????

Congrats to you!!! Does the wii really say that? how hideous! I really hate that word.

Yes my thanks and praise goes to God for His wonderful mercy! He has led me to this surgery and carried me through it.

I am SOOOOO happy to be in a size 16 and am feeling so great health wise. This is such a great, life changing surgery!!!

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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
