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!

No change this week. Two weeks in a row! My weight loss has definitely slowed. Part of the reason has been little to no exercise the last six weeks. I've had a problem with a sciatic nerve. I see the the neurologist tomorrow after having completed a MRI and some other tests. Hope to be cleared for exercise soon.

I gained 4 lbs, probably the Halloween candy didn't help, I eat bad carbs so for the next two months I am committing to starting over with the basics. I have 7 lbs to lose this month and 6 lbs for December. I will meet my last goal. However, if I'm a size 2 now I'm not for sure what 13lbs. will look like.

Only down a smidge myself, .4 to be exact. I can totally relate to others on here about being able to eat much more. It concerns me that I can already eat more at 10 months out, what will it be like 20, 30, 40 months down the road????

Frustrated that I'm so close to goal, but not quite there. I am happy I'm not gaining, though. I briefly flirted with losing a pound this week - but ended up back where I started.

Great news this week was that I have a new granddaughter (born on Halloween)! I'm looking forward to many active years with her.

I always briefly flirt with 2-3 pounds "losses", ????

Congrats on your extra special treat on Halloween ☺️????????

So close, but struggling to get there!! We can do this!!

Weekly numbers are here...

Based on 18 participants (although not everyone updated numbers)

Total pounds to lose goal: 2393.8

Total pounds lost so far: 2136.5

We are at 89% of goal!

Congratulations everyone! Keep on keeping on! As my husband continually tells me when I am frustrated...it's a bigger success to lose pounds now, than it was when I was at my high! Keep up the great work!

I haven't checked in for a long time, OB rotation is kicking my butt. Finally down a few pounds though.

Up 4 pounds this week. Interesting. Haven't done anything different.

I haven't posted in a while. I was feeling like I've been doing great. Except that I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I am malnourished and vitamin deficient. I've been eating about 600 calories a day. That's upsetting to say the least but the kicker is that I found out that my scale is 8 pounds lighter than the doctors office. So I haven't lost as much as I thought. It's been a rough couple of days. I know I have to get back to tracking. My family and boyfriend don't really see the problem I'm having with the news. I knew i could vent here. Thank you. I'll be posting my weight on Sunday.

Sorry you got bad news, Jaime. Have you been only eating 600 calories on purpose? That seems super low for 10 months postop. I don't track or measure anything, but I did count calories for a few days about a month ago and I was in the 1400-1600 calorie range. I can see how you would be malnourished as well as not losing weight by consuming so little. What deficiencies do you have? Has your dr switch up your supplements or given any suggestions?
