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!

Ok, so my 10 day carb fest paid off. Not only did I finally stop losing, I gained 4 pounds! I was travelling, visiting friends and family and attended a conference. 10 days of bread, ice cream, potatoes, desert, chips, cinnamon rolls, chocolate and LOTS of alcohol. I'm still under goal and well within my bounce range. But now it's back to the old 12 hour work days, protein eating, water drinking routine. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple weeks. And to tell you the truth, it was exhausting having that much fun

Lost 1 pound this week!

My weight seems to be levelling off during the past few weeks. I've been fluctuating between 167 and 169 pounds but haven't changed my eating or exercise patterns. When I asked my doctor about when to stop losing he said my body would naturally stop at some point and I'm starting to think I've reached that point.

I'm fine with this weight level as one goal was to wear size 34 pants, which I'm wearing now and some are a little loose. So, maybe this is it and it's simply time to maintain.

Another pound for the week

Gained 2#s...same ups n downs but I'm trying to stay positive and not scared that i'll gain all of it back, ugh. Ready for the 1 yr to come so the pressure to get there will not b so gr8 in my mind, if they makes sense. Anyways continued successes.

Total pounds currently lost to date: 2061.1

We are currently at 88% of our goal!

Congratulations everyone and keep up the fantastic work! We're getting close!
