I am not 5'11", however I am 5'9" which is on the taller side for women. I started out at 315 pounds...maybe more because I stopped weighing after that number. I lost a little more before I went into see the surgeon. I am now at 170 plus or minus a few depending on the time of day, and time of month. I am 36 years old. I am currently a size 10-12 pants and a large shirt. I believe I would be in smaller clothes if it weren't for my excess skin on my tummy (from pregnancies not weight). I wear baggy clothes to cover it. I will be having a Tummy Tuck in September and a breast lift with augmentation in October. I consider my weightless a success story even though I did not make my original goal of 150, because I look good at the weight I am (minus the tummy). There are before and afters on my profile. I am about 10 pounds lighter now then in the after pic on there....but I can't really see much of a difference. I feel happier, healthier....and sexier...soon to feel even better after I get rid of the Freddy Kruger clawed tummy look :) good luck!

You have done so well! How long did it take you to get to 170 and how hard was it to lose the last 10-15lbs? I'm also 5"9 and 7 months out. SW 275 CW 182. My first goal is 165 but I'm happy where I am now, zero loose skin and doing lots of toning for shape, only part I am unhappy with are the saggy deflated breasts at 26! These last lbs are def going to be the hardest! But determined to get there :)

The book I read said that taller people have a higher success rate. Not sure why though or how much truth is in it. I was 5'9 but I seem to be 5'8 1/2" ... Not as tall as you so I don't have that answer, sorry.

Ima 5'10 and a half...6 months out and down 112 lbs. When I went for my 5 mon check up my doc said I was well ahead of the game...loosing at a fast rate. But I also stick to the dietary guidelines and workout 5 days a week. So I'm not sure if my height has anything to do with it.

It took me a year and 5 months to get to 170. The last 10-15 pounds were the hardest and longest part. I was in a stall for about 4 months at one point...and then out of nowhere the weight finally came off. I am figuring I am done because I haven't lost anything since January. My plastic surgeon told me (first time I have heard this from a doctor) that I was perfect weight for the surgery and he didn't want me to lose anymore! I was shocked! :) wow! It sounds like you are moving right along! Wtg! Keep it 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!!

      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
