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!

It is 2014. Never again will I step on the scale and see the 310s, 300s, 290s, 280s or 270s!!! 268.5 today and I am sooooo happy I could do cartwheels!!!!!!

Happy 2014!!

Sleeved on 12.12.13 -- 3 weeks out on jan 2

Hw in 2013: about 260

Surg date: about 236

Cw jan1: 212.5 (almost 24 pounds lost in 3 weeks)

My ultimate goal range: 165-170 but I just may surpass that depending on food tolerances and considering the 6 month restriction list from my NUT (no bread, rice, pasta, fried foods, sweets, soda, caffeine)

I'm 5'7" large frame

Don't forget to take your measurements sleevers! I'm doing it every two weeks, some are checking once a month. It is important because we all eventually hit a stall but if we are shrinking still, it will keep us motivated and less frustrated.

Happy New Year!
