Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

  • Popular Post

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 am 5'1" and starting liquid diet today. Surgery is July 5th.

    HW: 220

    CW: 206

    GW: 120-125

    I am busty and have a large bottom - not that I want to keep the booty but always he a flat stomach with it before having kids....lol bust has not changed in cup size with weight loss only band size so hoping I won't lose too much chest... Lol!!

    Getting nervous about doing liquid diet "voluntarily" for a whole week! I mean there's nothing but my will power and risk of surgery cancellation stopping me from eating food so I'm pretty nervous about my will power strength.

    @@AmberMc03 YOU WILL DO GREAT! I'm day 5 and it's not too bad. You can have sf Popsicles and yogurt! I bought strawberry Slimfast shake too. I'm also 5'1" and went in at 199.5. My goal is 115! I'm very busty as I have implants and now all this extra weight over them was starting to give me back problems. Therefore, I knew I needed to do something. I am hoping that this was the answer. Looking forward to being much thinner by my birthday on September 24. I will be 43 years old.

    @@KristenLe thank you for your comment! I just feel like I shouldn't have a really low weight goal, I mean if I do that would be great but I would be happy if I get to 140...

    I'm the same way. I'd rather not get down to 120- I think that's too low for me.
