I'm NOT heavy enough for bariatric surgery (anymore)

Oct 09, 2009

You have a BMI of 29.1.
This shows that you are moderately overweight.
Your BMI is not high enough to qualify you for bariatric surgery

For the first time in 17 years, I am only considered....MODERATELY OVERWEIGHT!  Only those of us who have been classified "morbidly obese" can truly appreciate the magnitude of this achievement!  It has been 7 months, and I can hardly believe that this is my new life!  I care about what I eat, when I eat, how much I eat.  I LOVE going to the gym!  I am finding muscles in places I forgot there SHOULD be muscles!

Mental health...sigh.  I know that I was an emotional eater and learning to NOT eat when I'm upset is easy.  It's dealing with the emotions that's killing me!  Some days, I'm great! Other days, I'm a wreck!  I haven't learned how to deal with all of the emotions that I DIDN'T deal with before!  Sometimes they're very eratic...one minute I'm great, next, I'm ready to cry!  Anxiety is starting in on me, too!  Sigh.....

Anyone have any tips?
