Pre op appt today

Had my pre op today... went well... I had all questions answered and I was put at ease by my surgeon which was great... the only thing that puzzles me is that he told me I will look THIN @ 180lbs??????? WHAT? thats obese! He said once you have WLS the BMI chart isnt really accurate because you were once morbidly obese, lost so fast, and???????? i dunno that just seems weird.....

are any of you @ goal and happy where you are, yet still morbidly obese? this baffles me!

I dunno your height or anything but I'm 5'5" and I once got close to 180 with a diet (didn't last long) and I was like a size 16 maybe 14. I didn't feel thin or even normal but I felt okay with myself and happy to try on most clothes. My personal goal for myself is 140 It'd be nice to be under 140 but I'm not sure how I'll look then and if that'll be where I want to be. The last time I remember weighing anywhere near that I was 12 and it was obese for that age/height that I was at for sure. I picked that goal caue it's in the middle of the healthy range for my height.

Yikes girly. I don't know why he would have said 180 for you. Your smaller than me and my doc is saying is 145 before plastics.

hey girl. i saw my dr. 2 weeks ago for my year appoiment and he was sooo happpy and imprest for my progres and i was happy we was happy but i steel feel very fat. i have to 20 mto 25 more lbs to lose to be at 128 the weight i wanna be. now i`m 148. and i`ve stayed there for over 3 months so i won´t be happy until i get there.  i`m 5'3" that is kindda short.
so this means that your dr. have some expectations but you have your own 2. your surgery will help you to get to a healty weight. just a few who are really lucky get below goal and really skini so the extra lbs are gonna be on you and i think is great that we have to work ous ass off to lose the weight so we will not gain it back!..
any weight below what u are weighing now will worth it. u are gonna be soooo happy! and gonna feel like a super model  anyways lol.
