Taller after weight loss?!
Fifteen to twenty years ago I used to measure 5' 7" tall...but as I grew older I was told I was shrinking. I just put it off as being related to arthritis, getting older, or an inaccurate measurement. My primary care provider's office measures me everytime I come into the office...and all year I have measured 5' 5". Today while at the office, in the same spot as usual, with my shoes off, I measured 5' 6.5" (actually 170cm). OMG I got taller! Nope, my doctor said I probably just have better posture since losing weight, in turn making me taller (again).
Has this happened to anyone else post-op?

Highest Known Weight = 370# / 59.7 bmi @ 5'6"
Current Weight = 168# / 26.4 bmi : fluctuates 5# either way @ 5'7" / more than 90% EWL
Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.

Lucky lady!! We don't have any children, but have considered adoption so many times. We always get caught up in larger projects and spend so much time in Guatemala during the year that it would be difficult unless we did some sort of home schooling or schooling in both countries. I'm for it, he is against it, so we keep putting it off! I would want my children raised as hippies, he wants them raised as American as they could be.
