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!

You and I started close to the same weight and our losses are also tracking about the same - if that helps any. Good luck on the swallowing issues.

Ty Texas, I sure hope it helps too, it's been a tuff journey for me. And knowing where u are makes me feel way better:))) I've assumed that I'm slow bc I can't get in lots of cals and drinking is a chore as well as eating, so I figured I'm lagging behind the curve. Ty FOR taking time out to let me know that, I'm encouraged by it, and good luck to u on ur journey )
