I know this is odd but are there any tall girls out there? I am 5'11 and would love to see before/after pics- I have always been super sized!

No, I have finally decided I am going to do it. My mission now is to find the surgeon. I am so happy I found you. Because I am so tall I hear from everyone I don't need it and it's frustrating.

I am in Atlanta, I have an appointment on the 8th. Self pay. Doctor said he would schedule it two weeks out if all goes well. Maybe you can be my mentor or something. Did you tell people?

Awesome job!! Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions?

Ok so on pre op diet I lost 15 lbs and since Mid July I have lost about 20 lbs. the weight in the middle is hard to say exactly because my scale had to be replaced in July and my new one(same brand) showed me gain 20.....which I then went and compared to my dr scale....and it was correct which totally sucked!

So I lost 40 lbs or so pretty evenly over the 1st 3 months?

Sorry if this is confusing

I am 5'8" and I had surgery 6/5/15. I am down 55 pounds in 14 weeks but I haven't lost anything really over the last 10 days. Stalls suck!! I feel like I am losing slow too but doc says I am doing fine so I am ok with it. Highest weight was 293. Day of surgery was 289 and currently I am at 234. This was a few pounds ago but you can tell a big difference.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
