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!

YOU LOOK AWESOME HONEY !!!!

Thank you!

I'm 5"10 and started at 275lbs now 165lbs. I would love to be 150lbs! Over a year out - recent pic

Mine said the same thing. Guess I will just have to see when I get there! I had my surgery 12/9- HW 297, SW 287, CW 271. I am 5'10".

My surgeon just set a 160lb goal for me...Im 5'9. I am good with 170. We shall see!

well I had my 1st born at 16 and when I became pregnant I was 167lbs and was skinny dipping. I see pictures and I say "omg I was so skinny" that's why Im aiming at 180 at least.

I'm 5'9"

In high school I was 160 and I do look gaunt in pictures. I am big boned so I'm going to be shooting for 175-180

I'm 5'10", starting weight was 252. I'm 8 months post op and now 179, my goal is 170 because that will put my BMI under 25. Currently my BMI is 25.8. If I never lost another pound I'd still be the happiest person in the world! I'm wearing size 10 jeans (sometimes size 8) and medium tops. I finally feel NORMAL!!

Wow I don't think I can do 150 I'm 5'9 my dr said 175 - 180. Thought that was still a little high but 150 I think will be to thin for my height? We will see. Scheduled for 12/30

Personally I think it would be too thin. I'm 5'10" and 179. My goal is 170. I'm a size 10 pants, medium top. I'm amazed at how good I feel!

Oh how I hope so!! What as your exercise regimen and did you follow the high protein/low carb diet? I am trying - during the holidays it's been sooo hard though

Readbean I do protien first then veggies. Not too many starches as in no corn and pototoes about once a week. Bread once a week. I'm in the maintenance phse so It's still trial and error. I make a conscience effort to eat or I lose more weight. Happy weight range 166-170. You can do this. Remember it is a weight loss journey not a sprint.

I do protein first, but at 4 months out I am nowhere near goal. I will just keep it up:)

Redbean you are still doing a great job. There is no other "diet" where you would have lost 60 lbs in the amount of time you did. Just stay focused and stick to the plan. You are successful already! :-)
