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 hate to give the cliche that everyone is different, but what I can say is to remember that you were pumped full of air and fluids while you were in the hospital, so you probably have lost more than you think. I know I was told to not weigh myself when I got home from the hospital because I wouldn't like what I saw...of course I jumped right on the scale when I got home and was up 5 or 6 pounds from my weight when they weighed me the morning of surgery.

Just keep following the plan, and you'll see those pounds go away.

Everyone's body is different I've heard where some people have gained after surgery. Remember that they do pump a lot of fluids in you during surgery. Take your measurements because you could be losing inches. Hang in there

Like many others I'm Happy to be losing just wish I had more energy and could tolerate more real foods, I'm scared everything will hurt my hernia repair. I tried thinned oatmeal and it felt like rocks in my chest, so heavy. Even water and tea is still a challenge. I have had to take additional time off work because of this but hoping I'm back to normal soon. I've been battling constipation but have had Some relief from it since last night although not so sure I'm totally out of the woods.
