too skinny?
I know 100% with all my heart and soul I need this surgery. However I have MANY friends and co-workers whom have done it. The results scare me. All are at least 1yr postop and they range from : no noticable weightloss to extreme starvation looking.
I personally have a low BMI. (If i lose weight prior to insurance approval I may have to self pay)
So I know there will be weightloss Im not worried about that. Im worried about extreme weightloss where I look near/death like. My good friends (twins) look horrible! They look sick. They dont agree with me or plan on intending to regain any weight.
I guess my question is if I get that skinny will I be able to regain for sure?
Maybe because Im starting with a low BMI and im not a diabetic is it ok to not do EVERYTHING sugarfree? Maybe I can do healthy carbs like fruit, baked potatoe,sweet poatato, whole wheat?
My husband is attracted to plump woman. So I def dont want to lose ALL my curves but be fit and healthy.

If your BMI is "low," why have surgery?
You can absolutely regain. You can still chug milkshakes or eat butter and get too many calories with a smaller stomach.
Your best bet to lose weight is to do as few carbs as possible; most people (even non-diabetic) keep it under 20g/day. You need to eat protein FIRST, and maybe a bite or two of veggies afterwards. Fruit and starch very seldom.
