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!

Ready to be past this stall!

Happy Monday everyone!

The weekly numbers will be a little late this week. I will be posting them tomorrow for a few reasons:

We have some new folks who have joined the thread this past week (WELCOME)!!!!! If you are new and haven't done so, please either post here or send me a private message how many pounds you want to lose during this journey.

Also, I have the day off today and am going to be road tripping to explore some new locations in the morning, and then am having lunch with my sleeve buddy and going to a WLS support group tonight. If I am back at a reasonable time I will try and get the numbers posted, but the support group is about an hour drive away, so I'm not sure what time we'll be back.

Keep those numbers coming...you are all doing a fantastic job!!!

Spent 10 days in the hospital, been home for 4 days. Nutrition has not been a high priority. Just starting to get back into my proper diet. Still on liquids, hoping to make a change to pureed after my nutritional consult later this week.

Okay folks, here are our numbers for the week:

Total pounds to be lost: 9542

We're at 29.6% of our goal.

Currently we have 78 people participating (although some of them have not updated their numbers since late December).

Excellent job everyone! Congratulations to you all...we're almost a third of the way there!

Hello!

Seems like I stall for two days then lose two pounds, then repeat. That's a cycle I can deal with.
