Calling all my tall girls....what weight did you start in your WL journey/end up at?
I WAS 5'9 (shrunk an inch with the weight loss). Surgery day weight was 327, lowest weight was 172, maintaining at 189-195
RNY Gastric Bypass 1-8-08 350/327/200 (HW/SW/CW). I spend most of my time playing with my food over at Bariatric Foodie - check me out!
I am 5'11" and my highest weight was 389. I lost 40 on the pre op diet so had my surgery at 350. I got down to 205 in the first year and maintained for almost a year after that. I found out I had thyroid cancer and had some issues with that so I gained 40 and am now working to lose that again. The doctor had my goal weight set at 260- he said not to get my hopes up because I have a larger frame that I would possibly never make it under 200. I found that when I was 205 I felt perfect and did not want to be any thinner. Being the shape I am I thought I would be funny looking and not look healthy at all at 160-180-where the BMI chart says I should be. I just want to be 199 for a day to show my surgeon that NOBODY doubts me! :P
i was thinking i was tall at 5'8, guess not lol. On surgery morning i was 268 on 8/8/12 and today i weigh 186 on the dot, slow and steady for me and i just had my 1st stall the past couple of weeks and it lasted for 2 1/2 weeks then i lost 2.2 this weekend woo hoo thank goodness that is over for now.
