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!

Up a pound after my carb-filled weekend....cheesy bread, raspberry cobbler, pancakes, crackers, and wine. But that's what a bounce range is for!

No change since last posting. Missed last week's as I was on the road.

Anyone besides me struggling? Seems like everyone who has continued to post their weight is continuing downward...except me. :-/

No, you aren't the only one. Personally, I have been between 181 - 186 for months now. My life is so stressful and it is so hard to get back on track. I know I need to decrease my snacking on carbs while I study and increase my exercise but...I am ok to maintain at the moment at least until I graduate from PA school in July.

Blessings,

Tammie

Back to the Bottom of my bounce range.

Maintaining between 166 and 169; currently at 167.

Still measuring and logging ...

I had my one year Dr. Appt today (a little over a month late). I'm maintaining at about 151 lbs. and my blood tests were all perfect - great news. I'm struggling a bit with sweets lately, but will (hopefully) win the battle.

Interesting phenomenon...Because of my fast paced travel week, I exercised very little this past week and didn't eat very well...what happens? I lose 1.6 lbs. Hmmm....go figure!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Does anybody remember the link to the recipes? I am looking for the pumpkin protein shake. I have gained a couple of pounds and need to get back on track. Thanks!

Took my dog in for an MRI last week and found out he has a metastatic tumor in his cervical spine, not the herniated disk we were thinking it was. Spent the last 6 days stress eating my way back to the top of my bounce range.

I'm so sorry about what you and your dog are going through - I know how important they are.
