Am 5'2", 3 months post op, and down 60 lbs. Had some difficulties along the way - gout and extreme nausea - but getting better every day.

Still plugging along post-op. I think I must look even shorter to people as I lose. I get so many "you're such a tiny person!" comments now even though I'm still obese.

5'2 ; surgery is in 4 days. Nervous and excited are the two defining words I can use right now. ;)

I had my surgery 12/28, feeling all kinds of ways, you may think mentally you are prepared however until you have had it your not. I think forums and buddies are great as they keep you accountable. I 4"11 and would love to be part of the forum

I'm 5'2.5" - can I join too? I was 265 back in March of 2016. I went in to the surgery a week ago at 211 on my dr's scale and as of today I weigh 205 on mine. I see pictures of people who weigh what I do and look quite average weight but on me, it's an awful lot and to add insult to injury, most of it seems to like to hang out in my face and belly!

      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.
