Hey good to see some other shorties on here :) I'm 5' nothing, possibly 4'11" I feel like I'm shrinking! I currently weigh 205 and hope to be getting sleeved late jan. or early feb. I have been approved by my insurance and now have to do an online program for 10 weeks. Then will hopfully sch. surgery date. My goal is about 130-140 as well, I don't want or need to be a stick I just want to feel and look good and the last time I got to 145 10 years ago I was looking pretty DANG hot if I do say so myself lol ...so hitting that or alittle under wll be great for me AND my back!

You mite wanna try mederma, I have used it and used it before on a scar on my daughters upper lip...seemed to work well.

      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.
