I had a consultation this past Wednesday for a breast reduction. The doctor told me my BMI is too high and I needed to lose 50lbs before surgery was a possibility. I’m 5ft and 265lbs. I’ve always been large chested and heavier. The doctor said I was a good candidate and that insurance would cover it completely, just need to lose the weight first.
So here I am starting my weight loss journey. I’ve lost 7 pounds already. I’ve cut out soda, drastically lowered my calories, and started walking more. I can only walk so much before my back begins to hurt. I’m currently logging my food and exercise with Noom.
I’ve got to have the surgery this year. I upped my insurance this past January in hopes of surgery. Had I known I was going to have to lose 50lbs I would have started earlier. I still think this is attainable. I’ll take any advice or tips you’ve got to offer.
