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!

I am 5'11 and now I weigh roughly 185. Before I was sleeved in 2012 I was 300 at my highest.

So I'm not sure if I have shrunk but I was 5'11....I'm going to say I'm 5'10.....my brain is fried.

I'm at my lowest weight now of 180lbs. Wearing size L or XL tops (14-16) depending on the brand/cut and am wearing a size 12 or 14 jeans.

Goal is still 165. 1 year anniversary coming up on 8/17.....we shall see.

I'm the opposite! I grew to 5'11 apparently at my last doctors appointment. (To be fair this was the first time I've actually been measured...I always assumed I was 5'9 and 3/4). lol

I just reached 177lbs and am finally in the normal BMI range which is amazing. I was 340lbs at my highest weight. :)

I'm shooting for 170lbs.

Wish this topic would be more active lol. I'm 5'11 and highest weight was about 266; on the verge of high blood pressure and high sugar levels, always tired, no energy. I've been overweight my entire life and every time I lose, I gain back. I've tried all diets, lifestyle modifications, gym, crossfit, diet pills...nothing. The most I lose is 20lbs and then it creeps back on. As much as I was against surgery, it was my last resort and I'm scheduled for 12/27/17. I'm ready for the ultimate lifestyle change of being healthy and genuinely happy. My main goal is to be in onederland! First small goal would be 215, then 185, and the ultimate goal would be 160!! I have not seen any of those numbers since elementary school.

Hello all, I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 295. I have high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and I am pre-diabetic. My goal weight is 180 and I don't remember when I was in that range. A little intimidated by what I will look like at that size. But excited about how I will feel.

5'10" here. My HW was 301 in July 2016, SW was 271 on 12/30/16. I'm currently bouncing between 188 and 190. My surgeons goal is 170-175 with about 5 pounds of bounce back. I would love to get to 170 and maintain.

I'm currently in a size 10-12 and a medium top from a 22W and 2XL. I've also lost a shoe size.
