Ok so I'm also 5'0ft. Got sleeved June 20th 2015. Surgery day weight 190lbs. June-July, lost the most which was 20lbs. July- current 30lbs. Goal weight is 110lbs. Currently 140lbs. Weight lost just depends on how much calories you put in verses burn/workout. I've been slacking it but I'll get there soon enough. Good luck! post-257327-14488711148028_thumb.jpg post-257327-14488711361778_thumb.jpg

I was the opposite. In 2001 I had breast reduction. My regret is that they all told me I would be able to breast feed and I could not ( it's in fact rare to be able to fully bf after surgery depending on how and what they cut.) I don't know how your sleeve will effect healing. Sorry I'm no help but I did want you to know to ask about and research bf if you aren't finished having babies and want to bf.

I'm 5'1 and have the same thoughts!! My dr. hasnt asked me to set a definite goal weight. I honestly don't want to. I have an idea of a number but it depends how I feel when I get there. I do know this. My sister is 5'0 and lost about 120 pds on her own. She now weighs 101 and she looks perfectly petite and healthy. It seems outrageous to us but who knows. It may be very possible for us shorties to do well at that weight. I'm more worried about my skin. If I got down to 120, I'd have a 184 weight loss....Im 38 and people keep saying Im young enough my skin will tighten up etc but I'm not so confident. I think it's a huge motivator for me to keep walking and kill it once Im allowed to workout in the gym. I used to have great biceps but triceps are so hard to build up. I'm already getting bat wings from my weight loss. I'm glad you posted as a short sleever. I'll be checking back with you guys!

My BMI was 56% before surgery. Got sleeved on 11/11/15. I can already tell I'm gonna end up an A cup at the end of this and for the most part am making peace with it. I've been a B cup and always felt that was okay for my size/height. I just can't wait to buy regular bras from any store. First stop, Victoria Secret, you know it!!!

      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.
