You look spectacular!!! CONGRATS!

Looking good! Go girl!!!

Amazing work! Go girl!

Tall girls represent! I'm 5'11 and have been since 8th grade. My highest weight was 387, size 30 pants, 3X or 22/24 tops (sometimes 26/28), size 11 shoes.
My current weight is 250, I'm in size 20 pants (almost too big), L tops (or XL is they're cut weird). Tops at Lane Bryant are too big now so I'm smaller than a 14/16.
I'm 27 so I'm relatively young. I don't have any loose skin but I do have the flabby arms. My doctor told me that if I focus on weight training my arms that because I'm still young they should shrink to a normal size.
You certainly aren't alone. When I first started this journey and realized I had 212 pounds to lose (my goal is 175, I don't care what "national standards" say....any less than that and I'll be too skinny. Girls should have SOME curves). 212 pounds is an overweight person, and thats how much I had to lose. It's very discouraging BUT this surgery will change your life, I promise. I had mine in January. I started out at 212 pounds from goal, now I'm only 75 pounds from goal. That feels like nothin', I can do that! It's not an easy journey but we are all here for you and it will be the best thing you ever did!
<3 my tall girls!

I'm 6' tall, currently wearing a size 26 and weighing in at 350. I just got approved for the surgery so my date is tbt but it will be soon. I think my surgeon is scheduling end of Oct/early Nov. My goal weight from the surgeon is 220. For my height, I could go as low as 180, realistically, if I get around 195 I'd be pleased.
I'm not going to lie, seeing people starting out at their highest weight, and having that number be the same as my goal number makes me feel like ****. I get that they're like 5'4 or whatever, but it still sucks.
Where are all my tall ladies? I am getting so discouraged! I want to see some before/afters and waist clothing sizes for tall girls like me! I know you're out there! We need to start a club or something.

Girlfriend!!! Don't panic!! Let me give you some stats:
6'2" highest weight 337, weight morning of surgery 306
Goal weight from dietician 212
Personal goal weight 190
"Secret" goal weight 175
Current weight 177
Starting size 3X/4X, 26/28
Current size L shirts (the girls....'nuff said) and M pants, 12/14 tops and 10/12 pants
Shoe size 12W to 11N (not making that up)
I'm so excited to see your message and will be looking forward to seeing your progress!! Whoo-HOO tall girls!!

I'm pretty new to the post op crew, but I have read stories where people stalled for 6 weeks but lost inches instead of pounds. Be encouraged My NUT says for me to remember to stay away from complex carbs and fats. Also, remember to eat lean.proteins first. Hope I helped.

Change something, if its your workout, the time you eat, what you eat, something, it may just be enough to trick your body. Good luck!
