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've been stalled for 15 brutal days now. Started on Jan 18th only 19 days post op. It stinks but I'm hopeful it will move soon.

I have noticed a bunch of new folks that have posted their pounds lost ion the past few days. For those of you who are posting for the first time, welcome to the group. If you are new, and did not post how many pounds you want to lose in this process, please either post it here, or send it to me in a PM so I can get your numbers on the spreadsheet.

I'm stalled this week...exactly the same weight as last week.

I'll post our numbers tomorrow.

It will Shell, mine was 2 wks and when it moved, it went up 4 lbs. So, as I wrote to everyone, make sure ur not constipated, I was. Sry if I'm being too personal , but if ur not regular, try some m.o.m. it worked for me and I've lost the gain and then some. Hope it helps but like u said, it'll pass one way or the other. God bless You and ur patience.

Hello everyone...

Been super busy... with all this extra energy I hardly stay still these days... always on the go..and that's a blessing, I'm no longer hiding in my house.

Anyway..I'm in a stall haven't dropped anything since last Saturday. Haven't gained either..so I'll take it.

At 9:00 tomorrow morning, I'll be heading in to surgery for my Hip Replacement. Not thrilled to be back in the hospital but am so excited to get rid of this ever-present pain. I'm excited for the opportunity to finally exercise and perhaps even see the scale move a little faster. It was my need for a new hip that led me to the VSG in the first place. Funny how one thought or action can lead to another.

Keep up the great work everyone and I'll look forward to seeing your successes continue. Blessings to you all.
