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!

Welcome to the group Volfan! I have you down, and you're all set! Congrats on the wonderful weight loss so far!

I'm in the 200's!!! Been 3 years since I've lived in this neighborhood! Of course, I'm only visiting!!

I stayed the exact same weight for 6 days -- woke up this morning to a 2.5lb loss! Woot!

WOOHOOO....congratulations and welcome to TWO-derland...your stay will be short and sweet I am sure!

Absolutely claim that half a pound...I'm on day 3 (or 4) of the three week stall, so even if I lost 1/10 of a pound, I would be claiming it!

Yahooo!!!! Way to go!

Minwin doesn't the stall thing just bite! I am only 2 week about, but have been stalled all week. Like you a 10th if a pound would give me cause for celebration. I want to work through the honeymoon period and get as much off as I can, so I have been focusing on moving... What r u doing to keep your mind off the stall?

I decided to quarantine myself from the scale for a few days...or beat the heck out of it with a hammer....lol

Right now, I am focusing on football...good games this weekend! Otherwise, like you I am really trying on focusing in moving...and making sure I am getting in my fluids...still a struggle for me!

Yes, you summed it up perfectly...it does bite!

Count me in!!

I'm Stacie and I'm 18 days post op. My goal is to lose a total of 126lbs. So far 17 down.

So does the stall start right when week 2s finished? Bc ive been at a stall since last tuesday and my two weeks just ended Friday!! So my scale hasnt moved in 4 days and it was during week 2 not 3! Frustrated!!!!

I wish there was an exact science...but it will happen randomly throughout your weight loss journey. My good friend who had her sleeve done back in February' said she had her first stall at 5 weeks. I think it just happens when your body says 'what the Sam heck did you do to me?!?'' Typically I have read about a three week stall, but no worries Britt....just stick to the plan and you'll break the stall!

Been in a darn stall for the last week grrr

My Dr doesn't do a pre op diet, says ppl are healthier for the surgery without it. Was I happy to hear that? Hell ya! Had a hard enough time on liquid post op can't imagine pre op.

Anyway love lurking around and reading all of your posts, get a lot of laughs!

Good luck everyone!
