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!

Okay, here are our numbers for the week (please note, the numbers may seem smaller than last week as I have had to remove some people due to non-participation and/or not reporting their total pounds lost goal.) There are 69 active participants included in these numbers:

Total pounds wanting to be lost: 8161

Total pounds lost to date: 2957.5

We're at 36% percent of goal

Awesome job everyone! Keep it up!

I am EXACTLY where you are, but just 10lbs behind. SW 313 CW 277. scale hasn't moved in over a week. I'm so frustrated too. I thought maybe it was cause I am working out but I don't want to stop doing that. I'm getting my 80 grams of Protein and 64oz of Water. I'm 31 and been overweight my whole life. Maybe my body doesn't want to be thin?!

What are you doing for protein, water, and exercise? Maybe we can figure this out together!

Never fear Britt...yes, everyone will probably have a second, a third, a fourth, etc on the stalls. When I spoke to my NUT, she explained that the weight loss is not a straight line down, but more like stairs. Lose some...stall out...lose some...stall out. She explained that when your body loses the weight, it has to keep making adjustments (which translates into stalls). Once it has adjusted to the new 'state of affairs', then the weight will start moving again...just in time for another stall.

I had a very long one at 3 weeks, and then another one last week (I am 9 weeks post op tomorrow).

Hang in there! Keep doing what you're doing, and it'll come off!

Same thing here!! Doing really good. Working out a lot. Actually about to move to Dallas so that's fun. I was in a huge stall and had to up my calories too!!! But like you, it's working again and I'm down 45 total and 38 since surgery.

Good luck everyone And congrats!

After the crossed legs joy, another big victory...NOT USING A BELT EXTENSION ON A FLIGHT. Yeap! I still brought my own extension, as I always do, but I didn't have to use it! It felt great. Liberating!
