Good luck on your surgery. I'm pear shaped and 5'3 but I'm only 2 weeks post op. I didn't have to do liquids before surgery, but I had two weeks of liquids following surgery. Today I get instructions for my next step. I will say in 14 days I've lost 17 lbs. so just follow instructions and you will do great!!

I am 5-10 but more of a pear. I am 255 now which is 12 weeks after surgery. I was 295 at surgery. I am a comfortable (loose) 1X in shirts now and 18 in pants. since your starting below me you will look and feel awesome so soon! being tall helps a lot.

Awesome job ladies! I'm excited to get moving. Right now I'm trying not to bite someone's head off bc of lack of food on this liquid diet.

Hey I'm 5"10 and 250. Bmi of 35.7. So I'm right on the line. Just started the process. Can't fall below.

I was just barely enough. But I have been barely enough for 8 years!! Once I was accepted I was told to lose 10lbs or no date with the surgeon. Got my date and he told me to lose as much as I can.

Right now I think I'd be happy with a large and no X's with it! Lol...I'd be perfectly happy with a 14. A 10 is my ultimate goal!! :)

Totally!!! Can't wait for more choices in clothing. Not to be told when asking where is the women's sizes " there in the back by the elevator" and like nothing to choose from!

I am 5'9" and 256, totally apple shape. I agree it helps to be tall, but I am tired of hearing people say "you don't need to have surgery, you carry your weight well". Um, I don't WANT to carry my weight at all! :-P

I would be thrilled wearing a size 10!!

Looking to have surgery in late June/ early July, IF I ever get my doctors office to call me with a date.

I'm 5'9" and 2 weeks ago (the day of surgery) I was 268 and now I'm 242. I have put my measurements into a body calculator and it said I was pear shaped. My butt is bigger than my boobs and they are both bigger than my waist. Currently wear a size 18W/20W and xl top but the pants are starting to get big on me! My band on my bras are also getting big which is upsetting because I have little tatas.

      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.
