Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

[greenfamily004 172]

I was sleeved on June 28. So I'm out about 12 days. My first day was very very bad. I'm allergic to a lot of medications some of those are the ones they give you for vomiting. I vomited most all of the first day but slowly it got better. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I started walking in the hospital and have not stopped. I try to walk 1/2 to 1 mile every day. No matter what. I have not found a Protein drink that i tolerate. I have tried a lot. I do my best to get Protein in with other foods. For the most part i do well with fluids. It is most definitely a change. I'm very happy that i had the surgery. When it got close to my surgery date I got very nervous but I'm glad i went ahead. I can see my future. A much more healthy and active future. As of now i have lost about 26 lbs. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is to the new and healthier us.

Amgood- glad your feeling better. How do you do with milk? It's less protein than the powders or premade shakes but still has a good amount of protein.

Also, don't know if you are a coffee drinker but the only way I can tolerate my Protein powder is I mix it (chocolate flavor) in my coffee. It cuts down on the sweet taste. I love it and I gives me 30 grams of protein.

This thread has been really quiet lately. I'm 2 weeks out and have lost 6 pounds so far. A little discouraged when I see all of the big numbers on here but I know it will come in time. Hope everyone is doing well <3

Dawn- your doing great!!! It takes time and lots of patience. There will be times when you will loose quickly and other times when weeks go by and nothing happens (

Just stay positive and stick with the program and before you know it....... A new you will appear!!!!

I just got my date' date=' July 23. I have lost 27lbs so far, hoping to lose 40 before my date. Looking to lose a total of 130, so only 103 to go, LOL. Being 5'2 with big boobs I fear no matter what I will always look heavy.[/quote']

I was a 38G/H I'm a 36F now. I've lost 85lbs as of this morning and I think my boobs make it harder and easier at the same time to see the losses. I also have huge hips. I'm wearing a medium/large top and a 10 bottoms.

I'm at a stall. I have been the same weight for about 10 days now. So still 14 pounds down since 5/22. I guess it will move when it's ready!

It will move. Your just adjusting.

[stefaniwg 172]

I hope so. I'm not discouraged just frustrated. I have such a hard time getting anymore than 40-50 grams of Protein in a day. I love Water now so that's not a problem but protein shakes! Yuck!!

Have you tried Plain Greek yogurt? One cup has 23 grams of protein.
