Oookay. I weight 302 pounds and I am almost 6 feet tall..giver or take 3/4s of an inch... Which is abnormally tall for a women right? Yah.. i thought so too..

Anyway.. just wondering if their is any success stories from women(sorry men! you lose faster then women, not a good comparison)

I want to know how possible it is to attain a goal of being ...smaller... i guess...

I am not 5'11", however I am 5'9" which is on the taller side for women. I started out at 315 pounds...maybe more because I stopped weighing after that number. I lost a little more before I went into see the surgeon. I am now at 170 plus or minus a few depending on the time of day, and time of month. I am 36 years old. I am currently a size 10-12 pants and a large shirt. I believe I would be in smaller clothes if it weren't for my excess skin on my tummy (from pregnancies not weight). I wear baggy clothes to cover it. I will be having a Tummy Tuck in September and a breast lift with augmentation in October. I consider my weightless a success story even though I did not make my original goal of 150, because I look good at the weight I am (minus the tummy). There are before and afters on my profile. I am about 10 pounds lighter now then in the after pic on there....but I can't really see much of a difference. I feel happier, healthier....and sexier...soon to feel even better after I get rid of the Freddy Kruger clawed tummy look :) good luck!

You have done so well! How long did it take you to get to 170 and how hard was it to lose the last 10-15lbs? I'm also 5"9 and 7 months out. SW 275 CW 182. My first goal is 165 but I'm happy where I am now, zero loose skin and doing lots of toning for shape, only part I am unhappy with are the saggy deflated breasts at 26! These last lbs are def going to be the hardest! But determined to get there :)

The book I read said that taller people have a higher success rate. Not sure why though or how much truth is in it. I was 5'9 but I seem to be 5'8 1/2" ... Not as tall as you so I don't have that answer, sorry.

Ima 5'10 and a half...6 months out and down 112 lbs. When I went for my 5 mon check up my doc said I was well ahead of the game...loosing at a fast rate. But I also stick to the dietary guidelines and workout 5 days a week. So I'm not sure if my height has anything to do with it.

It took me a year and 5 months to get to 170. The last 10-15 pounds were the hardest and longest part. I was in a stall for about 4 months at one point...and then out of nowhere the weight finally came off. I am figuring I am done because I haven't lost anything since January. My plastic surgeon told me (first time I have heard this from a doctor) that I was perfect weight for the surgery and he didn't want me to lose anymore! I was shocked! :) wow! It sounds like you are moving right along! Wtg! Keep it up! ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
