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 am doing well but my hair is falling out . I get between 60-70grams of protein daily, take vitamins and biotin but it's still coming out... My hair is already thin, so I'm a bit freaked out

I am right there with you.. thin hair and not much left.. I do have long hair, but thinking about having it cut off. No sure what to do, maybe Ovation?????

Hello! I am so bad about replying to this thread, but I enjoy seeing how much everyone is losing!!

Kindle! You are doing awesome.

Thanks! I actually had my first post op "out with friends on a Friday night" tonight. It was my doctor's son 's 18th birthday and we went to a pizza place. I drank 1/2 glass of water, had 1 piece of calamari, 3/4 of the toppings of a piece of vegetarian pizza and one bite of chocolate birthday cake. I was stuffed so I came home and rode my recumbent bike 4 miles to get my digestion rolling. Preop it would have been 2 pints beer, loads of calamari, 2-3 pieces of pizza, a big piece of cake with ice cream, and probably home to sneak another piece or 2 of pizza. Pretty good night, I'd say.
