Hi! I'm Kathy, and I'm Extremely Obese

Apr 25, 2009

I just had to laugh. I calculated my BMI, AGAIN!!! On day of surgery, I was SERIOUSLY MORBIDLY OBESE. That is exactly how it read, "seriously mobidly obese". (SMO) Like if there were a category higher than that, I would  have been in it. Maybe something like:  "Are You Kidding Me? You are ridiculously, sickly, one-step-away- from-a-stroke beyond mobidly obese." (AYKMYARSOSAFASBMO). 

Anyway, today, I am Extremely Obese (EO). Where did the morbid go?? I know all of my co-morbidities are not completely remedied, so where did it (the mobidly) go?
Now don't get me wrong. I am glad I am just extremely obese, rather than SMO. I am healthier, and having a great time working out and becoming stronger. But when you are the fat or voluptuous gal for so many years....it is a bit shocking to be downgraded! I am going to think of a new "title" for this current BMI catagory. Maybe, X-tra junk in the trunk; A Little Too Cushy and Curvy; Anorexic Phobic...

Okay, seriously now.  I am just messing around, and venting a bit.  I am doing well, feeling great, plugging along with the day to day challenges and joys of just "being". I am so very thankful for all of my WLS friends, and ESPECIALLY for those who have "re-surfaced" and "get me".
Hugs to ya all!
K.
