The "normal" response would be a BMI of under 40.. but this forum was always open to all.
Yes, I was lucky when I started on my journey this forum was VERY active. I got all my support here as I didn't live close to my Surgeon's office.

Hi I'm going to try the weights in my bra. I'm just wondering if I should remove them before the doctor come in
it's for people who don't have that much to lose. I don't know if there's a limit, but I'm guessing under 100 lbs (maybe even less than that). A lot of these forums aren't very active anymore, though. Check out the main forum or the one for your type of surgery - those are still pretty active.

Hi
Just looking at the Obesity Help site and saw that there is a light weight forum. Who is this for?
I'm thinking it might be for those who had under a certain amount to weigh?
Let me know!
Thanks
That's Wonderful!!!!

Hi
I've been on Obesity Help for awhile now but have been mainly inactive. I just saw your group and thought it fit me well to join since I really need all the support I can get.
My surgery was 9/11/2017 at 212 lbs, lowest weight 144, cw 162. I'm trying to lose 12 lbs by no later than July 1st.
I'm not a self motivating kind of person which works against me in these situations. Don't get me wrong, I try, but I lose steam quickly! The stamina and endurance for maintaining my enthusiasm is weak! That's why I need support!
In order to go gently on myself, I've planned on losing 1 lb a week ( you would think I could do that right?!) only if my body cooperates. I take several medications that cause weight gain and I'm postmenopausal, which all makes losing weight harder according to my surgeon. It's kind of disheartening but what can I do, I can't stop my medications or change them. My health is not in danger due to my current weight, but I have other medical conditions that require medication.
All that said, I exercise about 5 times a week already and log my food, so I don't think anything would change in that area. I just need to drink more water, and cut down more on my calories. I thought I never have to count calories again after surgery, but here I am!
God Willing, I can lose these 12 lbs.
I appreciate your support.
