...that will make me jealous or sad or something. And don’t even tell me WHAT your BMI is/was.

Just tell me how many BMI points you lost, like this:
FIND your Pre-Op BMI. This is very easy to use: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diet-and-weight-loss/bmi-calculator.
SUBTRACT your Post-Op BMI.
Tell me the difference.

”WHY?” you ask. Well, because I never got to my “ideal” weight and sometimes that bugs me. But when I subtract my Post-Op BMI from my Pre-Op BMI, I realize that I dropped 20 BMI points, well, then I’m less depressed.

MY DIFFERENCE IS 19.9 BMI POINTS. I’m gonna call that “20.” (My lowest Post-Op BMI was 22 points less than my starting BMI.)
 
41 points so far. But it helps a lot that I am now 2 inches taller than I was preop. I am now a success story but it took me 20 more years of dieting to get there.
