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!

Lost 17 pounds since being sleeved on 12/17!

I have lost 30 pounds total, but 15 since the surgery. It seemed like you only wanted to know the part AFTER surgery.

Just to clear up the confusion (because it will not allow me to edit my first post here anymore). I am open to recording whichever weight loss you want to report. Most people are doing their posts with the:

HW

SW

CW

format - then I will post your total weight lost from your highest weight. It only seems fair that we should get credit for the weight we loss pre-op too. (at least I sure want that credit...LOL)

So, it's completely up to you...if you want to send me your TOTAL weight lost from your HW, I'll record that...if you want to send me your weight lost from your SW, that's completely fine as well.

Sorry for the confusion...if that silly first post would let me edit it, that would clear up a lot

Excellent Job! I'm still clinging to 300lbs--scale has not moved since Saturday (OY!). My personal trainer said its because I'm doing a lot of weight training and cardio and I should up my calories--but I'm scared to do that--want to talk to the doc and NUT before I change anything outside of the plan they've laid out.

Scale not moving, but clothes getting bigger--thank goodness for inches.

Since first meeting with surgeon October 28 until January 2nd: Down 30 pounds.

Since surgery date December 26th: Down 7 pounds.

I'm so proud of our group! You all rock! 2014 is definitely OUR YEAR!!! Rock those sleeves ladies and gents!!! xxxooo Mary

Just a quick update to our participation numbers.

We currently have 85 people who have sent me their goal for pounds lost, and we have had 60 people so far record their weight loss. That's an AWESOME 75% participation level! Those pounds being lost look reeeeeeallly good!

We'll have another update on Monday, so keep those posts a'comin'.

This is a GREAT group, and I agree with xmarycontraryx, you all DO rock, and 2014 is going to be an AWESOME year for us!
