Tall Women, Tell Me Your Story!

Hello! I am having my surgery tomorrow (!!!) and I am 5'10". HW 297, surgeon says he thinks i can get down to 150. Doesn't sound doable to me, so I thought I'd see if there are any tall women out there who can share their success stories with me! I'm shooting for 175 and will go from there....I'd love to hear your stories!

Hi all,

I had my op on April 15. at 150Kgs......I am down to 100.4 this morning. I am 6"6 so i am hoping to find an extra 5kgs (12lbs) in the next few months....

sleeping better, better mood, Waist size was a 44-46 now at a 34.

I'm loving the new me.

Tredfern do you mind me asking what size you wear at 165lbs? I'm curious what size you started at and are wearing now for pant, top and shoe. I started at a tight 22 and size 11W shoes. My shoes are all too big now and I would love to be a regular size 10M in shoes again. Right now I'm wearing a size 16 pant a little bigger in tops.

I am 6' and CW is 260. 10 years ago I got down to 185 and was a size 10. It was a great weight and size for me. I hope to get there again soon! Surgery Nov 19th....

Here is what 185 looked like for me then:

HW 340lbs

My goal weight is between 150lbs - 170lbs. 170lbs will be my 50% mark and what I just cannot wait to see and Celebrate. :)

Hello tall sleevers :)

I have been up and down with my weight the last two weeks since Thanksgiving. Went up after the holiday, then had a big loss because I got the stomach flu. Then my birthday hit and I rebounded back up. Realistically, I know I didn't "gain" that much weight in a week - it's Water, etc. and my body getting back to normal, but it was a blow to the ego. I was SOOOO CLOSE to being under 200lbs....and then I wasn't. I'm back to "normal" eating, Protein first, veggies second...and getting in my water. I WILL GET UNDER 200lbs soon! My goal is by 12/31. I've got 3 weeks...I am going to do it..

The sleeve is a wonderful tool and I need to use it. I still have the same goal of 165lbs...which is about 41lbs to go. I may not get to 165, but if I got under 180 I think I would be happy with that. We will see how my body feels at that weight.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season. Whatever you Celebrate - hope it's filled with health & joy.
