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!

Happy Surgiversary Again to All! Well We (I) made it my Surgiversary and one year later, I am reporting in a little short of my goal. I gained and loss in the last few weeks with celebrating my birthday and festivities from the holidays. But the best thing of all is at least I'm not where I use to be... Extremely Grateful, Thankful and Blessed! But I am noticing my appetite is increasing and I am able to take in more. Crazy thing is I have found myself eating almost a whole row of chips ahoy Cookies. I never did this before. Pray for me weight loss fam, that this will not turn into a habit.

Gained a couple pounds this week, 3 to be exact! It shows what no exercise and constant grazing will do in a short timeframe. Time to get back on the program. Looking forward to exercise and a routine of more healthy eating

Totally know what U mean. I "tested" my sleeve at about 6 months out to see if I could handle cookies and I got in an entire "sleeve" of gluten free sandwich cookies within 5 minutes ???????????? I was shocked and even more shocked that I could have kept going cause I felt little to no discomfort. Oreos and I cannot be around each other for very long or I will attack them ferociously ???????????????? it's all about balance and discipline. I'm glad my sleeve won't allow me to tolerate too much or any cake or fried foods, Pasta, rice, bread. I do enjoy chips and crackers occasionally sometimes too much ????

My surgiversary is on Wednesday, which is very exciting. I've been away from home for a week and tried weighing myself on my daughter's scale - it looked like no change (which is good). I'll post a more accurate info next week.

Gained 4 pounds...pretty much what I expected since my 4 food groups last week were sugar, alcohol, fat and whatever other carbs I could cram in. I am actually happy to be back on the Protein train....my sleeve was starting to protest.

Down .6 this week

Congratulations to all of you who have worked so hard and done so well during our first year.

I'm up about a pound, but seem to be fluctuating by a 1 - 1.5 pounds right around this weight. I got to my surgiversary (yeah!), just shy of my final goal of 150.

I'm pleased that I didn't gain a bunch over the holidays (I wasn't very careful and didn't find a place to workout on my travels despite efforts). I'm hopeful that I will finally make goal in early 2015.

Lost 2 of the Holiday pounds this week. I did well by returning to eating pretty clean for the week and restarting the exercise regimen. It is amazing how quickly weight gain can start when the regulars routines for eating and exercise change.

No change for the last two weeks.

Had my year appointment last week. Doctor was thrilled - even though I was not. I have been struggling to lose the last 60 days or so. He wasn't alarmed as my measurements continue to get smaller even though the scale isn't moving too fast. That being said, I'm pretty sure if I were eating a little cleaner, I'd be doing some better.

Can't really complain though!

Lost all the holiday weight. I was really surprised how much I craved sweets after eating them for a week. Took a few days to detox, but as yummy as all the Christmas treats were, I really do feel better eating healthy.

Minor change in my weight - I'll wait for more to post - getting off Christmas sweets and back to eating healthy is rough!

I did get my 1 year blood tests drawn - I see the Doc in 1.5 wks
