At the suggestion of a fellow sleever (thanks DeezJeans) I'm starting a post-op success story thread. This can be a 'numbers' thread...when you do your weigh in's, you can post your pounds lost here, and we can keep a running total. We can use this thread JUST for pounds lost!

Looking forward to the thousands of pounds we WILL be losing!

Here's what we would like to do. Please send me a private message with your goal pounds lost. (Meaning, if your goal is to lose 150 pounds, just jot that down in a quick private message and send that to me.)

Then we will compile all the pounds from everyone who wants to participate, and post the full amount, and then work towards those goals with weekly updates. We will be recording those pounds lost AFTER surgery!

You will still post your pounds lost on this forum here so we can Celebrate all of your victories (and I will keep track of them on my trusty spreadsheet, and then report the weekly pounds lost)

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Princesstami: I was sleeved 12/11 and it feels like I am a bit slow in the weight loss process. I weighed this morning and I was 245. I accept any loss as a success. I can sit back and see what I would be eating right now if it were not for the sleeve. I do think I am becomimg sort micro manager of what people eat. I have to stop that or I will alienate my friends and family....

I don't think you are slow at all - 6 days difference and I have had a few days where I really struggled to get anything in. I know what you mean about micro-managing what others eat, I have been sort of doing that to my husband, he did the pre-op diet with me and has really cut out a lot of carbs but I need not preach at him so I really have to try hard not to do so.
