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 had a weight gain of 7lbs but I attributed it to several factors. So, I'm one pound away from my lowest weight, post-op!

wow Andrew amazing job!! Are u working out often? Almost 100 pound loss for you in such a short time!! I've had some major set backs due to gastritis and suture inflammation and have to remain on full liquids for at least 2 more months .... Depressed is an understatement but I have to forge ahead. I'm only 10 pounds from goal and 4 months out tomorrow, 4/12. Hope I don't lose much more cause of these restrictions

I've been away from BP for a while but I'm back

... Just got off the phone with my Phys asst and was informed that due to my challenges with gastritis and suture inflammation I will have to remain on full liquids for at least 2 more months .... Depressed is an understatement but I have to forge ahead. I'm only 10 pounds from goal and 4 months out tomorrow, 4/12. Hope I don't lose much more cause of these extreme restrictions

Sometimes I feel like I went from one extreme of eating everything in sight to now practically starving which obviously causes weight loss -- is either approach really healthy??

Happy I lost the weight but the challenges that came with it are no fun at all

HW ever 293 (year 2009)

SW around 236-238 (12.12.13)

CW recently broke 180s and fluctuating 176-178

My goal is to maintain low 170s but possibly will get down lower due to major restrictions for healing process

Keep me in prayer folks!

Congrats to all!!!

Gained 2 pounds this week....sorry guys! Last time I gained, it was the start of a month long stall, so I may be bringing the team scores down over the next few weeks.

Thanks. Actually seems like I lose more inches when I'm on a weight stall, so I'm not complaining in the least.

Thanks sandysleeve. Yes I've been working out a lot and increasingly. I'm sorry to hear about your complications and hope you can resolve them soon. I had some issues myself earlier but have been doing great as of late.
