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!

12 pounds in 18 days post op. With my starting weight I was hoping for a bit more this month.

I was blessed in being able to get all my protein and water in, and even some veggies and my soft diet from day 10. I'm on Regular foods now, doing great. I wonder if that's part of why the scale has slowed, but I suppose that's a good thing, though I am impatient!

Only other things I can do is add workouts to the mix to help speed things along. I began that yesterday.

Good luck and congrats everyone:)

So that's 16% excess weight lost the first month, when I look at it that way it sounds good...lol. I was just hoping for 100lbs the first six months...we shall see.

I have felt great and done well with protein and fluid since the surgery. I got up this morning feeling good but about an hour ago started have a stabbing (not unbearable) right beside my belly button. I have my gallbladder, I did have a hernia repair with the sleeve.

I feel dizzy and just "pukey" but not really able to drink much. Any advice?
