Anyone here available to be a sleeve buddy? My surgery date was 2/25. I'm 5'1. Pre-op weight: 212. Day of surgery: 192.8. Current: 176.2. I live in TX and don't have much of a support system. If you'd like to read my introduction to these forums, it's called "Lonely in Sleeveland." It's under the sleeve "tell your story" section. Thanks for considering. :)

I wanted to start a forum for members who are pre or post op and are 5'2" and under. I am 4'9" and post-op. In 4 months, I have lost over 50 lbs and would like to connect with others of my body type so we can compare stories and support each other.

I am 4'11" but whose counting? My surgery was 3/28. Would love to join group.

Hi, Guys!

I'm fairly new - still in pre-op. I'm 5' 2.5" -- can I still come out to play? :)

When I first saw my surgeon I was 271.2. I hope to get down under 150 (a weight I haven't seen since college.) I'm approaching 55 and want to be in better shape to see my kids (13 and 16) grow up and have lives of their own.

Hello Everyone! Looks like we are all over the place- some just starting, some waiting for surgery, some post op and still working on losing and some at goal. The common denominator is that we are all "petite".

I've never been a fast loser but I sure am consistent. I started almost 15 months ago and in a few days will be 6 months post op. Down almost 118# from start and 50 from surgery. Feel fantastic now- Can't imagine how I will feel when I get these last 33#s off my body. Oh yes, and I am 58.

I'm 4'11 and 1/2 but keep my hair big enough to make me look 5'00. Heh. I also say a prayer every night to grow a half inch... I'm 44 and this has yet to happen. :(

I was sleeved on April 20th at 177.4. One month out and I'm 162.2. I feel FANTASTIC. I'm happy with my weight loss number overall, but in comparison to some of the others I see I get a teeny bit frustrated. But I tell myself that's cause they are TALL. ;)

I have to tell myself something, right?

:)

Glad us short arses can be known as petite. I discovered whilst at the very beginning of my WLS journey that I was no longer 5'6" but somewhere along the way had lost 3"!!!!!! I'm now 5'3". I know that my back is totally f****d and I've got a relatively new hip but THREE inches? Purleeeeese!!!! That's what happens when you are a ballet dancer in your youth. Everything falls to bits and you end up shrinking. Bit of a bum deal all things considered. Huuuummmmmph...............

      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.
