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.

I'm in! My surgery is 9/24; I'm 5'2" and I have over 100 to lose; Great idea since 10lbs to a short person is vastly different compared to a tall person!

Hi everyone, I am 10 days post op, at the 1 week point I was 9.6 lbs lost. I will update on Thursday my 2 week stats. I am 5'2" and current weight is 205

@@smb1966, yeah for you! Great start!

Wow yall this 3 week stall thing is crazy and real. I have been 195 for 2 weeks now. Trying not to be discouraged

Technically I'm 5'2" 3/4. Depending on who's measuring I get labeled wither 5'2" or 5'3". (I also think it depends on how high my hair is sitting that day Doing well but I was super obese so I still have a ways to go.

Don't get discouraged. Measure your waist. You may find that you are losing inches.

Thanks! I've yet to get a measuring tape so I'll get that. Woo it is tough. Going to run by the river every weekend and see if that helps. The struggle is realllll

Seriously having the struggles

I'm 5'0" and 15 weeks post op and I have lost 52 pounds.

Since 1993, age 12, I have been 4ft 11 3/4. As of my appt at the surgeons office 09/24/15, they say I'm 4ft9. Not sure i shrunk or what, but glad to see other shorties on here!! I'm getting sleeved 10/26.

I know how you feel wagyu. I've been 170 for 2 1/2 weeks now! im starting to get a little obsessive with the scale which i dont want to be. I think i will change up my exercise routine a little. Maybe that will help. Good luck to you!

My 52 pounds includes my two week pre-op diet which I started May 26th. At the one month mark I started adding In different Proteins. I have added different foods each week. Sometimes I am ready for them and sometimes not. My body lets me know. The key for me has been logging my food. Knowing how much I am getting in Protein, carbs, fats. Now each day I get my proteins, dairy, two veggies, two fruits. I haven't found room yet for grains, but that will come.

I'm 5'1 and I am pre op. I'd love to be in your group.

I have my new weight it's 200.2 I can't wait to be under the 200 mark! I am 18 days post op

I'm 5 foot even and just waiting for the approval from the Insuance and than my date so some time in October or November I will be sleeved!!! I can not wait. I hate being so short and carrying this extra weight.
