Shorter than I thought!

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

Are we all shrinking not only horizontally but also vertically???

[Djmohr 6,965]

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!

[Levita 50]

oh boy..then me being 4"11 naturally would make me like 4'10?? Oh Lawwwd I can't be a minion!

[justme29 76]

I was 5' 9'' in high school. I am only 5'7'' now.

Lol, that's what I was thinking! I'm 4'11" as well, I get any shorter and I'm gonna be missing out on amusement park rides!

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????
