Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

"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 am at the early pre-op stage; I will see my doctor in a few weeks to discuss wls. Your post struck a chord with me, not only because we are the same height but also because just when I think that wls is the right path for me I start wondering whether I should just stick to dieting like I have for years. I have a lower bmi than most people getting this surgery but I also have co-morbidities that have led me to research this option. I guess I figured that once I went through with the surgery, all of my doubts would disappear but your post has me thinking differently now.

I see that you posted your message on January 1st but that your surgery was on 12/28/2016. Do you still feel the same about the surgery now that you are almost a month post-op?

I am 4' 11" too. Do you mind sharing your stats? Hoping to find someone who is similar. I was 199 before my pre-op diet, 192 on the day of surgery (11/18/16), and I am currently 171 and have been stuck here for two weeks.

Hi All,

I will love to join this group too. I am 5' and was sleeved on 2/15/2017. My starting weight was 160lb and in 11days post surgery, I am 148lbs. Since last 4 days I haven't lost any weight. Any ideas on how to come out of this stall are welcome.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
