I am curious to know if there are any other shorties out there being sleeved or have been sleeved? I am 4'9.5 and the Nutritionist tweaked my diet a bit due to my height, she also told me do not do the liquid diet more than 7 day for surgery prep. . I just wondered the success and goals.

Hi I'm 4"11 and been sleeved going on my 11 month. My journey started out at 265 day of surgery 260. Lost about 25 pounds first week. First month over 50 pounds, then kept losing. Currently I'm between 135-140, stop going to the gym for 2 months and been in this stall. Getting back to the gym I'll lose the 15-20 more pounds I'm wanting to. I thought I was the only shorty out here!! BTW I did everything like tall people would do my Dr said it did not matter how tall. Check out my pics!

Five months out/ 8 months out

Hit the gym ASAP it did wonders for me. The only reason why I had to stop was my daughter and all her after school activities. It's slowing down and I'm changing up my routine and starting before work 5:00am gym time instead of after. I enjoy going to the gym I do their classes.

I started out on the treadmill, then worked on weights then I jumped into a Zumba class it was all over. My favorite classes are #1 body pump #2 Zumba #3 Sha bam. It took me about three weeks to get into a class and make sure u get your Protein in. The key for me if I don't sweat I'm not work hard enough. (Don't sweat like I use to)

I'm 4 foot 9 and 3/4ths of an inch. Yay for other shorties. I'm losing on average about 2-3 lbs a week. 5 months out, 68 lbs gone.

Thank you Funsize it's not an easy road, but very rewarding. When is your surgery date? What's the status for all the other shorties here?

I am excited my sleeve date is Dec 8th. I weigh 171 with a few health issues that helped me get approved. I haven't shared my surgery with many because people say you don't weight enough I an 4'9.5" I can weight 100 lbs not that is my goal LOL. Any advice?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
