Almost the right BMI for surgery

I am so ecited. I went to my normal Monday evening weigh ins at the WLS center where I have been doing the Optifast since April 16th. I had 84 pounds to loose before I would be at the proper BMI for surgery. Well, after my weigh in today I am only 15.5 pounds away from being under 60 BMI. I have been working so hard and eating..... well nothing but drinking Optifast shakes. I started my Optifast journey at 494.5 and tonight I was at 428.5! Before Optifast in 6 months of being a WW angel and exercising at least 60 minutes a day, I only lost about 15 pounds. I was at 510 to the 494.5 from ww, so I feel pretty excited. I am almost there.

Good for you. you should be so proud of yourself. that is not easy to do and you have done it. keep going and keep us informed.

Fantastic!  I know it seems strange to have to loose weight to have wls, but you will be so much healthier.  I know you'll do it, and I look forward to reading about your wonderful experience. Keep up the good work, Sally

Well done!  I did Optifast pre-op, too, and it was easier than I thought it would be.  Are you doing shakes and meal bars or just shakes?  The meal bars helped when I needed something to chew, but I will say that they are an acquired taste.  Keep up the good work, and those 15 lbs ought to come off in the next two or three weeks!

YAY!  You are almost there - good job.  Keep it up, and you will have a date before you know it!

Wow!  that's fantastic, congratulations! 

Kix: I do have a meal bar a day and I only like the peanut butter ones. lol. I am a peanut butter nut!

That is wonderful. What a terrific job you are doing. HUGs. Jo
