Any tall people who had surgery?

Curious to see how much weight y’all lost at 3-4 months???? 😃

[kellym1220 472]

It's hard to remember, but I think I lost about 50 pounds. The next 30 have been MUCH slower!

[The Greater Fool 1,954]

I was a 6'3" guy with a quarter ton to lose when I had surgery and lost 40ish in the first month, then 20ish the next 3.

Try not to compare with others as it can create problems for you and your mental attitude.

Good luck,

Tek

rate of weight loss is affected by so many factors that's it's kind of pointless to compare (and comparing can stress you out if you're a slower loser, but there's nothing wrong with being a slower loser!! I was one of that crowd and ended up losing all of my excess weight). Yes - height is one of the factors, but so are age, gender, starting BMI, genetics, metabolic rate, body composition (your percentage of fat vs muscle vs bone vs water), activity level, how closely you stick to your clinic's food plan, yada yada yada. About all you have control over is your activity level and how closely you stick to your program. If you do well with those, and your weight is generally trending downward, you're golden!

Not super tall, but reached my personal goal weight at about 7.5 months. Will be 11 months post-surgery tomorrow and weight is pretty stable 18 pounds below my goal weight.

100% agree with @catwoman7 though. Everyone is different. Follow your plan and you will lose weight. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply’s everyone. But it’s more curiosity than anything. I see a lot of shorter people on here and not really height testimonies. I know everyone is different and their bodies and using your tool as best as possible with eating right and exercise. I’m new to all this .. scared but determined. Just nice and encouraging to here EVERYONES testimony about there weight loss esp in height bc I am a tall obese woman.

I'm 5'10, started at 334 HW and 292 day of surgery. At 3 months I was down 40 lbs to 250. I was a "slower" loser, but have lost over 175 lbs and couldn't be happier.
