Recommended Posts

So, tall friends - what are your favorite places to shop for tall pants and jeans? Anyone know where to find Ana jeans? JC Penney isn't stocking the tall sizes anymore and I looooved those jeans and how they fit!

I am 5'8" and I weighed about 145-150 in high school. It was the fittest I have ever been in my life, and I starved myself and worked out two hours a day to maintain it....I was a size 6/8 and felt absolutely beautiful. I'd love to get back there. Attaching a photo so that you guys can see what 145 lbs looked like on a 5'8" frame. Cheers and good luck!!!post-236607-14130714273591_thumb.jpg

Beatiful! I am 5'9". I was sickly looking at 145. I would be happy at 165. That's where I am

Comfortable still slim looking but not sickly. I have about 38 pounds to go.

I'm not much good for a success story since I am only a week and a half post-op. I am 5'11" (I shrunk from 6') and currently weigh 299. At my highest in February I was 352. I have no earthly idea how I got that big. I think a lot of it was denial. When I went in for surgery I was 312 I think. I'm so happy with everything so far. It's a struggle, but worth it. Hopefully in a few months I can have better results to post. =)

I am 5'8 and weigh 180. I asked my surgeon at my last visit what my goal should be and he said healthy. As long as my blood sugar and high blood pressure are under control I can stop whenever I want to. The nutritionist and I decided on 160. I am 7 months out and have lost 92lbs.

My surg was 10/25/2012. Hard to believe two years out, and sadly, not where I want to be!

Bad back has made exercise almost impossible, now...grazing is creeping in and VSG rules are creeping out. I'm trying to get back on track! Overall, no regrets!

51/F. 5'10

SW 303 sz 24

CW 225 sz 14/16

All time HW back in 2001 was 390. All in all I've come a long way!

Would love to hit 199, or size 12?

I am 5'11 and am currently 191. I am currently trying to get down to 175 in order to get a body lift and breast augmentation in February. I had weight loss surgery nearly 3 years ago and am absolutely so glad that I did and I recommend to people to do it as long as they are in the right head space about it. When I tell people my weight they always tell me I do not look like I am that weight, and people who knew and saw me before the weight loss said I never looked that I weighed 300. I tend to attribute that to being so tall, I have always been told that tall people carry weight better. Nearly 3 years out and the only place I have a problem with extra skin is the stomach area, but as the plastic surgeon told me because I am so tall with a long torso it makes for a better lift canvas (as he put it).

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
