Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 5/17 - last time I weighed I'd lost 22lbs - that includes Pre-op diet. I'm 5'2; started at 210lbs. This is week 4- I got dehydrated and actually passed out at work on Monday morning and was transported to hospital via ambulance. I got fluids and was fine. Since then I've been drinking like a fish. I feel Water logged. This week has been a struggle to eat - yuck. The smell of food turns my sleeve! Still having some dizziness, fatigue, headaches, nausea and grouchy as a hornet. I've felt great til this week. I'm really not able to exercise yet due to the dizziness. I know this is temporary and it actually is getting better each day. Protein & Vitamins are a must for me. Cannot skip them. If I do, I can hardly get out of bed! I have found the mornings are much more difficult for me than prior to surgery. My guess is from the lack of food & Water during the night. Anywho... Still very excited about a new life!

Hello, I will be sleeved in 1 week and I am excited, but a little nervous. I have been preparing for my 5 day pre-op diet. Shopping for all that I could think of that I would need. I started weening myself Monday by replacing Breakfast and adding a meal each day to replace. I figure 5 days would not be too hard. Next week will be here before I know it.

I got my surgery date today .... Next Thursday the 16th!!! Woohoo

I have been 5'2 forever..... But when I went to the Dr & had someone measure me I'm actually 5'1. Which helped in getting my surgery approved !

Anymore 16th sleeve buddies out there?

Hey all! 5'0 and currently 278.4. I'm 25 years old and these numbers just don't balance out! According to a "normal bmi" I should weigh 125lbs but I have been 140 before and people told me I looked too skinny. I would be happy with 150. Actually I would be happy with anything but where I am now. I an pre op with a tentative date of oct 2!

      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.
