I like petites or capris or flood pants and I am 5'6". I might have a long torso and this might be a good thing according to my late Mum. It seems that as you age your spine shrinks. I guess this means that if you have long legs and a short torso when you are young, you may be shit outta luck when you are an old fart!

Oooh, lemme see, this could translate to an individual who has 3.5 feet long legs, a 2 foot long trunk, and then a head.............. Maybe a head. Canadians have heads, don't we?

Ok my pants drag on the ground. Or I wear taller shoes. I just never really invested too much into a pair of pants to want to shorten them. But I definetly do find petite are just a tad too short.

Ok, green, what's your inside crotch to floor measurement? Cause if you're the same height as me.....

Lila, it's not that I care about my pants (LOL, nice thing of me to say), just that I hate getting them wet.. you know, if it rains, or snows. THEN, I often sit with one of my legs under my butt/thighs, and end up with wet spots on the back of my pants!

Maybe I just need to turn into one of those girls who wear the stilettos with jeans?

I think the stilletos would hurt your butt if you sat on them. OUCH!!!! And by the way thats bad for your posture.

Okay, I just got to these posts now....Lila & Mandi....so I measured like you said...from the crotch basically the top of my leg where it "joins") to the actual floor....and the measurement was 28.25 inches. Of course if I measured to where I would want my pants to hang (which would not be touching the floor!) it would be less.

Hmmmm so maybe I do have short legs.

I fit jeans that have a 28" inseam and I am 5'6". I like to wear pants that end at the ankle, and some people might find them a tiny bit short.

My real hair colour was strawberry blonde. You know, that reddish blonde colour. And, like a redhead, I don't tan. This is why my skin looks really good for my age. I spent the summers indoors. I used to hate it!:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
