I wanted to start a forum for members who are pre or post op and are 5'2" and under. I am 4'9" and post-op. In 4 months, I have lost over 50 lbs and would like to connect with others of my body type so we can compare stories and support each other.

Hi,

I am 5' 2

I lost 15 lbs in my 2 week pre op

Gained 5 during surgery and hospital

And now I have no idea

I do nt want to go crazy with the scale, so my next weigh in will be sometime in ate August at my post op appointment

I have a long way to go, but am taking it one day or meal ata time

Many blessings,

Michelle

I am 5'2 but it depends on who does the measuring bc sometimes I have tall days and am 5'2.5 lol...

Too funny.....I'm 5'1.5", and my PCP always rounds it up to 5'2"..........but with these bad knees (can't straighten my legs all the way), now I truly am 5'1

I'm 5'1 and 4 weeks post op. Down from 203 to 168 so, 35lbs. 15 pre-op.

I feel like I can already eat more. I can see where someone would not lose much weight.

For me I think there are times when I can eat a lot in a day, and then there are times where I don't eat much at all the whole day. But when I do eat a lot its nothing like what I use to be able to eat.

I totally agree! I laughed today because I felt guilty for eating a half a cup of chili from Jason's deli. I can remember going to Jason's deli and getting a half a sandwich, fruit, chips, a side salad, and topping it off with ice cream!! WOW never ever ever again!!!

It's normal to have a gain after surgery. It will move very soon. Staying off the scale is a good thing. Good luck and keep up your fluids.

I am 5 1.5 but used to be 5 2 before all the weight gains my dr also rounds up. I was 270 pre-surgery on April 4th 2013. Today am 225. I am almost 4months out. Been a slow move down the scale this past month for sure. I try to stay positive and keep in mind that I packed this all on over the past 30 plus years so even tho I don't see bigger numbers dropping.....it's dropping I have not had any second thoughts about the choice to be sleeved! It's tough enough being short. Much less short AND round lol so I am looking gladly at just. Short. Best to all u other shorties.

I think all of us completely understand the short and round body type. Great job on the weight loss, 45 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I am also slow at getting the scale to move, 35 pounds in 3 months. But I will gladly take the slow moving scale down then the fast moving scale up. No regrets Keep up the good work!!
