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!

I am pleased with he progress so far. Adjusting to puree real food has been eye-opening. The tiny amount of food is still difficult to grasp for me. Working on it. Working the sleeve. I trust this will work if I work it.

This weeks stats:

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!

Welcome Meltzy!

I'm packing my stuff up and coming up north to visit you! Tonight's low here in freeeeeeeeezing Minnesota is supposed to be 32 below (actual temperature) with wind chills of up to 60 below! You're having a heatwave compared to us!

Thanks for joining the group! I have you down and ready to roll on the spreadsheet!

Guess what???? I have great news! We are at the 10,000+ pound mark for our weight loss goal. We are officially coming in at 10,770 pounds total to be lost!

This is beyond my wildest imagination, and I am SO excited to be taking this journey with all of you! You are all amazing, and inspirational!

Keep up the wonderful, fantastic weight loss! I'm confident we'll hit that goal!

Should we send our weighin info every week? What's the easiest way for us to report our losses?

Been in a bit of a stall this week, actually went up 2 lbs but today I am down that 2 +1, hopefully things will start moving again now.

Halfpint - you are more than welcome to post your weigh in whenever you would like. A lot of people do a weekly weigh in on Sunday's, and then I report the total number of pounds lost on Monday's, but as you can tell, people just post their victories any day they want to. I have it set up to track every post, so no pounds get lost.

The best way to post is using the following format:

HW (highest weight)

SW (surgery weight)

CW (current weight)

We're all about celebrating the victories...even if it is a tenth of a pound...and we also encourage if we hit stalls (since I am on day 5 of mine right now...lol)

So feel free to post whenever you like! I'll get your numbers, and you'll see the grand total so far on Monday's!

I've lost 5" in waist alone! Woohoo

Tami J,

Same here! Day 12 of a stall, but today I think I saw the digital scale consider a lower number (227), which I hope will break the stall in a couple of days. Fingers crossed. And congrats on your loss!!!

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!

Hi MGR...I am not sure what to record for your weight loss. Could you please tell me how many pounds you have lost, and I will get it down on the spreadsheet!

Thanks a million!

Hi MnWin, sorry about that. Had posted my stats previously & didn't quote the original post! Thanks!
