Hello everyone! I'm starting with around the same stats:

5'2.5"
HW: 225lbs
Current weight: 213lbs

I still have 5 more days of my pre-op diet (for a total of 14 days) before my sleeve on March 8th! The nerves and excitement haven't quite set in yet..still fills surreal but I'm so ready!

Hello everyone,

Where would you/ do you shop for petite non-plus sized clothes? I'm surfing the web looking for some deals! Currently at size 14W. I've often bought Women's Petite sized-clothing from Talbots because I have to dress up for work but I don't know that I'll buy much of their regular petite stuff because it's kind of boring. And I certainly don't want to spend the money if I'm going to be in a size for only a month or so.

Hope everyone who was close to surgery when you posted is doing well post-op!

No, I was 275,and 5,4. I'm now 9 days post up. I'm sleeping better, despite some gas discomfort, and incision pain, point of removal of the stomach. So don't give up.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
