I was nearly 5' 11" my entire life, then in 2001 I had a lumbar fusion and suddenly I was 5'10". In June I had a 3 level cervical fusion and now I am 5' 9 3/4"

I mean seriously can I stop shrinking please! Hubby thinks it's funny, I do not. I like my height.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm...

The cuff of my trousers drags on the ground now?

Is that what you were after?

Your butt is smaller and that affects the inseam. (At least it did mine)

So I have always said I was 5'4 ..."on a good day" but I decided I really wanted to know exactly how I am am...or am NOT! Lol

So I had my partner measure me......I'm 5'2 3/4..... not even 5'3...

Lol guess my BMI is a tad higher than I thought....anyone else not sure exactly how tall they are ??

I used to think I was 5'6", but turns out I'm 1/4 inch shy... Not the same, I guess.. But I was so mad when I found out lol

I'm 5'5" in the morning but only 5' 4 1/2 in afternoon. Bizarre but true.

And I, as usual, am opposite. I was 5'6" in my 20's, so that was the height I would give when asked. When my height was checked at my first WLS appointment, I was clearly 5'7". It would seem that my posture has improved over the years.

I was 5'10 and change when I was in high school and in my 20's I injured my back a blew a few discs and shrunk to 5'9 1/2 and at my recent point I was just below 5'9 so apparently between the discs and just being heavy and having had so many kids I've lost over an inch of height. Kind of disappointing, but the good news is that it's easier to find "regular length" clothes instead of talls!

I don't recall actually saying THAT.

But wait a minute ladies, I thought you all said size doesn't matter? ;-)

That happened to me at my consultation! I've been saying I'm 5'6 for years and found out I'm only 5'4 EVEN????

      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? 🤷‍♀️
