I started the process with a BMI of 39, high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic. I had a sleep test at that point and found out that I had sleep apnea (which apparently is common when obese). My surgeons office knew exactly what was needed to submit for insurance approval. One thing to note - as far as I have heard, all insurance requires a BMI of at least 35 or higher.

I love cooked cabbage but DH isn't big on it. I can usually sneak some into stirfry or soup but that's about it. Sounds good.

My Normal weight range is 118-120. If I go out of that range I watch what I'm eating and increase my Protein.
I held that weight for a long time until Last December when I had emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction and dropped to 116. After I was there for months I finally put it on my Signature and I forgot to change it. Doing that today!!!
Even though the number sounded good I didn't feel well at 116 and my clothes were way to loose.
Thanks for the compliment! I'll be 8 years out in October so I don't get those very often any more.

Sorry about your friends families. They do say deaths come in 3's. It's strange how it works out most of the time.
I make pasta at least once a week and I still can't judge how much to make. Sometimes that's all I can get the Grandkids to eat when we have them. I never let the boxes run out. I might have a couple of bites but it's rare for me to eat more than that.
I didn't eat much yesterday. Felt Yucky all day.
Snack: Plain Honey Nut Cheerios
Protein: Protein Drink
Snack:
Lunch: Scrambled Eggs and Bacon
Dinner: 5 Saltines with PB

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Happy Friday Afternoon LW's!!! My boss wanted Wendy's for lunch and I was soooo tempted to get a bowl of Chili but I fought the urge and settled for KFC. My bladder is going to be soooo happy today!! I've been pain free for quite awhile now.... 
I even gave my KFC chocolate chip cookie away! Making Good choices for lunch usually helps me make good choices the rest of the day.

Thanks everyone. I spent the last couple of weeks helping DH get ready to pass a skating test so we can compete together and learn ice dancing. He passed, now we need to not trip over each other when we skate.
high weight 230 start of journey weight 217 surgery weight 191 current weight 138
Welcome aboard! 
Wishing you good luck on all those tests. I think I had just about every key comorbidity prior to surgery but only a starting BMI of 36.8. Surgery was approved in 3 days.
