Hey tall ladies! Im 6"1' and my sizes have stayed pretty consistent. Im usually 1/2-1 whole size smaller on the top than the bottom.

In the beginning:

344- 24/24 top 26 bottom both (pretty snug)

Now:

298- 18-22 top (varies by store) 22/24 bottoms

If I remember correctly I should be an 18/20 (top) and 22 (bottom) at 280. I dont have any weight lower than that to compare. Anything below that was when I was 14, didnt weight myself, and wore men's jeans. Womens' 36 inseams were hard to come by in '94. They still are.

The funny thing is that I have always fit a Gap xxl top.

the moral of the story: Ive been fat for a long time.

I'm 5'5" and 184. I fit into size 10 or 12 pants, but tops I am at least an XL.

My daughter, on the other hand, is about the same height, 199, and fits into size L tops, but wears size 16 jeans.

If we stand face to face, maybe we look like one of those yin-yang drawings.

It's amazing how much size differences a few inches of height makes! At 5'2" I am still in an 18-20 (L-XL) at 188 lbs. I guess I'd have to lose another 100 lbs to get down to a size 10 or 12. Very frustrating!! I've noticed over the years (and I'm 63) that at my height I can divide my weight by 10 and know my approximate clothing size (ex: at 240 lb I wore a 24, at 280 lbs I worse a 28).

~sigh~

I used to be able to list off the size that I wore at a certain weight, for example I packed 14/16 tops and 18/20 bottoms for my honeymoon when I weighed about 240 -ish. I'm about 5'9" Now however after delivering a baby via emergency c-section I can no longer tell. At 269 lbs my top is already down to and 18/20 and my bottom is firmly lodged at a 23 due to a nice shelf that is left over from giving birth.

I will be estatic once my whole body is in the 18 range and I can shop in New York and Company. I guess it's a personal goal of mine.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
