Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Well, I guess I am the newest member of the century club for my weight loss surgery group. I weighed 159 this afternoon. I've lost 101 lbs. This is 3 lbs below my original goal. I had lost to 161 two weeks ago but my weight was fluctuating from 163-165 because of fluid retention from the IVs. I just weighed 162 yesterday and figured the fluid was coming off from last hospital stay. Now today, I'm down 3 lbs from yesterday. Mind you, I am not too skinny at 159. At 5'9 " , that puts my BMI at 23.5. However, I don't want to lose another pound. If not for being so sick from the pancreatitis the last few months (which has nothing to do with the gastric bypass for you newbies) I'd probably be happy to be below 160. I had kind of thought 160 would be nice to say I'd lost 100 lbs. However, I can't even be happy now since my pcp is so concerned about my nutritional status. I've really been doing better on my eating since the last hospital stay a week ago. Another thing, I like all my clothes and don't want/can't afford to have to buy smaller clothes again! This is sad but I need your prayers for being able to maintain my weight! It seems so crazy that I would have this problem. Mind you, I'd have to get to 124 to have a BMI below 18.5 and be considered underweight. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
