Any Shorties?

[mommy794 119]

Must be in the air ! I've been the same for almost a month too. Was 205 now 160 but I did start exercising so maybe my body's in SHOCK! Lol

[slatond 20]

I'm 5'2" and start wt was 247, surgery 5/28 wt 229 and this AM 3 wks post -op wt 214.

Feeling great / loving the sleeve.

My adult smallest was 115 and that was actually too thin 4 me. I am shooting for like 135/140.

Since I am older I am very concerned abt the skin not havin the elasticity it used to have.

( forgive my ticker... I thought I updated it but it didn't work. Obviously I need guidance on how to update the thing!)

I'm also a shortie 5'2". Highest weight 315. Currently going through the whole process & can't wait to start my new life with the sleeve. Hearing all the success stories makes me cry tears of joy. Can't wait to be a success story too - no ifs, ands, or buts - I will be one & wont stop until I achieve what I thought was impossible before. *high five to every past, present, and future sleever*

I'm at 5'1" and 175 down from 246. You can see that on my ticker though. I have been stalled out for month or more. I have begun to seriously hike (I mean climbing peaks and being on the trail for hours).

I too am very happy and can do the things I love again, but it is frustrating after loosing so quickly in the first few months.

I'm thinking of stepping back and maybe going on Protein shakes for a couple weeks -- or maybe just eating nothing but Protein and getting back to the basics.

Yes, I know I'm building muscle and retaining Water while they heal, but it really sucks.

I don't want to go back to 110 pounds. I looked mal-nourished back then - even with my small frame.

It's great to hear from other shorties.

I'm 5'2" & weighed 212 at my evaluation visit with my surgeon yesterday. I still have a couple more months of my required supervised weight loss program. Surgery is scheduled for Oct 23 with Dr Pinson in Tupelo, MS.

My goal weight is 130 & I can't wait to be on the losers bench!!

I'm 5'1 and I had surgery at 241, and have no idea where I was at my highest, but it was well above that. I'm 2 months out tomorrow and am down to 197 today. My first goal was to get under 200, and my next goal is to get to 140. We'll see what happens after that, because I haven't been smaller than that since I had my two kids, so not sure what post-baby body is like, exactly. So I'm not going to make any goals past that since a lot is unknown!

Good luck MrsJones075. Looks like our stats are close. 5'2" here. Weigh 215 before surgery and 208 day of surgery. I wasn't required to do a Preop diet. I had surgery 5/24. My goal is also 130. I will be very happy to welcome you to the losers bench in Oct.

I'm 5'2 and pre-surgery I was 240lbs. I'm now 8 months post-op and down 92lbs. Only 13lbs to my goal!

[shelleyrn22 78]

Wow... You're all doing so awesome! I was sleeved 5/17 and since my Pre op diet (May 1st) I've lost about 25-27lbs. It's been quite a learning experience!

[shortypants 26]

You are all doing very well!!! I'm 5', surg dat 5/7. Highest weight was 178. It's been 7 weeks and i'm down 37 POUNDS!!!! WHOOP!!

I love reading this thread. It is very open, honest & informative. I am 5 flat and am at my highest weight of 270. My doctor straight out told me that, no matter what the medcal chart says, I am not one to weigh less than 140, and that might be a stretch. He says realistically I should expect 155 or so. I will be happy to get to that! I must admit my biggest fear is the loose skin, but I will deal with that when I get there!

I am 5'3 my top weight was 509.8......surgery day 446.. I am now at 390 and feeling magnificent!
