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!

Awesome sounds like you are doing good!! How many calories, and protein are you getting a day??

I'm getting 700-750 calories a day and 65-80 grams of protein. I still have a really hard time getting all my water in. I only average 40-50oz per day. How are you doing?

Here's my slowly moving along update...I feel like I stalled for more than two weeks!

My surgery was December 11th

Fantastic!I'm getting in about 70-100 grams of protein a day with about 800 calories and the scale barely moves. I just started exercising so hopefully that will get the scale moving.

I work out 4x a week, I think that helps, but I think getting the water in really makes a big difference too. I generally drink between 80 and 960z, but no less than 80oz.

Today I finally seen a good move on the scale 278 finally after going up and down for a week. I think my issue is too few calories I've been averaging 500-550 I've made a effort to get closer to 800 and it looks like it maybe working!! I struggle getting my water in too! I found the crystal light pomtini it helps it taste good!
