Anyone start around 285 and 5'4



Recommended Posts

I know that we all lose differently. I'm just curious to see how much was lost by those around the same size as me. My highest was 299 currently 285. Pre op starts on June 16. Surgery June 23. I have found this forum very helpful during my journey.

I am 5'4 and my surgery weight was 284. I lost 55 lbs prior to surgery on my 6 month supervised diet and 2 week preop. Down just about 130 lbs in the year since surgery and have about 16 lbs to go to reach my goal.

I had my surgery, sleeve, on June 4th. At my highest I was 297lbs. I am 5'4" and at the one week liquid pre- op diet I was 283 lbs. I had my monthly cylce during my liquid pre-op diet and lost 7.1 lbs. Surgery day I weighed 275.8. Today I am down to 265.8 lbs. I would love for it to be faster but I am very happy with my progress. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in a long time. I feel lighter. My goal is to be between 135 and 150. It will take me a long time but I know it took me a lifetime to put the weight on. My husband had the sleeve one year and four months ago and has lost about 150lbs. He is the greatest support and example to me that it can be done!

      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.
