So Im 5" and the BMI charts I check online says 97-125 which I think is way too small for me, havent been that small since high school... Im hoping to get down to 130/135 pounds. Right now Im 148lbs and Im 5 1/2 months post op..

Ok so I'm also 5'0ft. Got sleeved June 20th 2015. Surgery day weight 190lbs. June-July, lost the most which was 20lbs. July- current 30lbs. Goal weight is 110lbs. Currently 140lbs. Weight lost just depends on how much calories you put in verses burn/workout. I've been slacking it but I'll get there soon enough. Good luck! post-257327-14488711148028_thumb.jpg post-257327-14488711361778_thumb.jpg

I was the opposite. In 2001 I had breast reduction. My regret is that they all told me I would be able to breast feed and I could not ( it's in fact rare to be able to fully bf after surgery depending on how and what they cut.) I don't know how your sleeve will effect healing. Sorry I'm no help but I did want you to know to ask about and research bf if you aren't finished having babies and want to bf.

I'm 5'1 and have the same thoughts!! My dr. hasnt asked me to set a definite goal weight. I honestly don't want to. I have an idea of a number but it depends how I feel when I get there. I do know this. My sister is 5'0 and lost about 120 pds on her own. She now weighs 101 and she looks perfectly petite and healthy. It seems outrageous to us but who knows. It may be very possible for us shorties to do well at that weight. I'm more worried about my skin. If I got down to 120, I'd have a 184 weight loss....Im 38 and people keep saying Im young enough my skin will tighten up etc but I'm not so confident. I think it's a huge motivator for me to keep walking and kill it once Im allowed to workout in the gym. I used to have great biceps but triceps are so hard to build up. I'm already getting bat wings from my weight loss. I'm glad you posted as a short sleever. I'll be checking back with you guys!

My BMI was 56% before surgery. Got sleeved on 11/11/15. I can already tell I'm gonna end up an A cup at the end of this and for the most part am making peace with it. I've been a B cup and always felt that was okay for my size/height. I just can't wait to buy regular bras from any store. First stop, Victoria Secret, you know it!!!

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
