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!

Well, today is my 1 month surgiversary and ive been pleased to a certain degree. One of the things i stated b4 surgery was that if i stalled i wouldnt be upset b/c it happens, and true, it did and i was fine. Well today i weighed and I AM SO P.O'D, but i knew that I cud come to my fellow sleevers to vent b/c I certainly cant at home w/o causing an argument, as it did w/ my spouse!! Anyways, i now weigh 212 and yesterday i was 208.8. I am so heartbroken b/c of it. I didnt get all my foods in b/c of the event i had yesterday, but i didnt eat badly b/c I can't. I did sip some broth from a homemade chicken soup, made me sick, so i stopped. I didnt get in all my water either. But almost 4 lbs in a day, and 1/4 belly, I would give up if i could, and still having spasms:(( Anyways..here are my numbers, and will post again Sunday for the officials...

I know it's hard when you see the scale go the wrong way...but rest assured, there is NO way that you actually gained 4 pounds...you would have had to have eaten 14,000 calories for that to happen. It can be so many things....water retention, sodium, muscle gain, etc.

I had to finally put the scale away because I was eating 600-700 calories, and gaining 1-2 pounds...it's not real weight gain, so the scale is now hidden and I can only weigh once a week.

As my husband tells me ALL the time...I have to look at the entire forest, not just the trees.

It'll come off!

Tysm Mn, I told my daughter to take the scale bc I'm not obsessed w it, but now bc of the gain, I wanna weigh every second, so she hid it. And u and ur husband's right, forest. Again, ty and will repost Sunday: (

No worries.

Have faith.

Keep calm and carry on!

Look at how far you have come. Everyday is a victory because you aren't eating anything like before. You have come so far and there is no going back. God has mighty plans for you so hold on.
