This can't be...I am NORMAL!!! March 10,2009!

Mar 10, 2009


For the first time since I knew what a BMI was, I AM NORMAL! The chart says. 24.9!
Did you get that? 24.9!!! I set the goal several months ago just to be in a normal BMI. I have thought about adjusting the goal as I approached it, but really, my goal was to be normal. Originally my goal was just to be below 150lbs, but the longer I lived with my new tummy, the more realistic being NORMAL seemed. So I revised it to having a normal BMI.

This is truly amazing to me. I am in awe of the new life this surgery has awarded me. I am so much happier, confident, healthier, active...the list goes on and on. I have never had regrets or wished I could eat huge volumes of food. The fact is, if I was capable of eating large volumes of food, I probably would. Otherwise, I never would have needed this surgery.

This forum has helped me to get here. Thank you to all of you who have been my friend for the last 11 months. Thank you for your support, prayers and kindness. I am not through yet. I still have about another 10 or so lbs to go before I want to start maintaining, but I WILL get there.

Newbies, and pre-ops, you will be posting these kinds of posts yourself before you know it. The last 11 months have flown by. The VSG is a wonderful thing!!!
