BMI 54

I started out with a BMI that wasn't even printed on the BMI chart!  But during the six-month waiting period, I worked hard to get my BMI in the mid 50's by my RNY surgery date.  (How did I do it?  I started the post-op diet guidelines pre-op.  Then, I went to a remote little lake most summer mornings and swam for an hour)  

Surgeons at the hospital I went to have operated on patients weighing over 1,000 lbs.  My BMI was close to 60.
