Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

[msjoy83 42]

Oh it definitely can happen. Don't limit yourself on how much you can lose as long as you work the program, guidelines, Protein and exercise. I'm 2 months out today and down 40 lbs. I'm 5'1 started at 197 and I'm now 157. But My lowest weight is 136. So I'm looking forward to my goal being around 100-110 lbs. think big and you lose big

Though I'm prepared for the hard work ahead I do know and I'm realistic thst my thyroid issue will make it so that i have to work 3x as hard. ..but you're right think big lose big. :-)

Hi all - I'm 4'11 / 197

I will be sleeved on Friday, April 11th.

I really want to do this for my health and to be there for my son and future grandchildren. I am however becoming more & more nervous and so very afraid of this surgery! ????

It is very a important decision u have made and normal to be anxious. For me it's been the best decision I've ever made. I believe u will feel the same way a few months out when u become aware of the way it is working for u. Best if luck and keep us posted!

Hi all. I'm 5'1 1/2. My surgery is May 13th. I'm anxious for it to get here already.

[sleevexcited 56]

Great idea!! I am 5"2 and 232. I haven't had surgery yet, I do have insurance coverage, but the part in my coverage is that I have to be employed 1 year with them then 6 months of the added requirements-I can start process now. I attended the information night last week with the surgeon I want.

Here is my question- I can't get in with Doc until first of May- should I get into office and meet with either their psychologist or dietician- If I met with one of them will that count as appt for April-

They way my coverage is - I can't have surgery until Sept. I just don't want to wait another month until October, because Doc would be gone...

I wish I would of known cause I could of started all this, and then once my July date comes up I could of been ready for surgery then.

I guess it's part of my VSG story.

Hi everyone! I am 11 days post op. I'm 5'2", HW 225, SW 201 CW 185. Still on Clear Liquids, next follow up appt is on Tuesday and hoping to be bumped to puréed.

[sleevexcited 56]

Great job!!! I was wondering how much weight to work at getting off before surgery and still be able to have surgery!!

Do you have in mind what puree foods you'll try??

[RJCmommy 2]

Honestly, I have no idea what I'll try! Don't want together my hopes up and be told I need another week on liquids! A super soft mashed banana does sound yummy though! Probably a lot of applesauce. Have always been a picky eater, guess when you have never been introduced to certain foods (especially vegetables), it is hard to get past the barrier of just trying it!

There is a splendid brown sugar- I've put on butternut squash with a squirt of " I can't believe it's not butter".- baking it is really tasty- I think ahead of my surgery I will cook one of those - then puree it and pour into ice tray- freeze and then have little servings ready-

Are you tired if the liquids or have you mixed it around a bit with different broths?

[RJCmommy 2]

I am tired of liquids! I spend my day sipping Isopure to get my Proteins in! Then an occasional sugar free Popsicle! The warm broths make me feel to queasy. I did take a few small bites of a Wendy's frosty, tasted like heaven, after a few spoonfuls I knew I was full!

Hi! I'm 5'2. I'm scheduled to have my surgery on the 14th. I'm on day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet. My heaviest weight was 256, I am currently 243. I'm having a rough time drinking 3 Protein Shakes per day but I'm doing my very best, no cheating and drinking plenty of fluids. I can't wait till next week!
