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!

Down 5 pounds since last weighin (10 days ago). Lost the 4 I had gained on my carbfest vacation plus an extra pound. Even though I didn't mean to do it, hitting the 100 pound mark still feels pretty cool!

Have a great week everyone!!!

Well I'm sad to report zero weight loss this week BUT this is the first time since surgery that I haven't lost any so I guess I'm ok with it. I would like to lose about 12 more pounds by my birthday in January.....we shall see!

My weight loss has definitely flattened out. I've increased my exercise recently (now going to a spin class) but that's not resulted in any additional weight loss. But, interestingly my size 34 pants are now fitting loosely so something's going on.

No complaints ...

No change this week for me.

I made it to my 100 lbs mark since my surgery date!!! Go me, almost to my GW!

Still 124 lbs... I've hit a plateau... my cravings are out of this world and I eat like a tapeworm. Does anyone have this issue 10 months out? I can definitely eat more which kind of concerns me

I feel your pain. Cravings are coming back and my ability to eat more has increased.

Still, I have significant restriction which helps a lot. I find that I need to keep logging all food to stay vigilant.

Weight loss has flattened which is ok, but I am trying to figure out how best to handle long-term maintenance.

Been a month since I've been here but that's just cause it's so darn slow! I can't believe at ten months in I've gone from a size 22 to an 8!!

I can definitely eat more now. Hadn't seen my parents since July and they both commented on how much more I'm eating now compared to then.

28 lbs till I reach my goal!

I'm also slowing down as far as WL goes and can eat more. I'm also really concerned about it. I'm still not exercising consistenly. I know I have to. Not sure why I can't (won't) get my ass in gear. I'm some place between a size 14 and 12. Goal is a real size 10.
