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'm kicking butt and taking names!!! Another 3 lbs lost this week!!!!

wow u started so low and ur losing so fast! Congrats U must be super short

Yea I'm 5'2 however I work the sleeve the sleeve doesn't work me!!! When I got the sleeve I did my research and decided I was going to use this tool to my advantage. I got it as early as possible so that my insurance could pay for it instead of really letting my weight get out of hand.

The sleeve keeps me from eating so much in one sitting however I have set goals and I stick to them. I've always been discipline to exercise so that's why I've lost so fast... And also I'm turning 35 2 weeks from today and I wanted to look my best for my bday

U look great in avatar

<p>I appreciate all input. I, too have very fine hair, and I wear it very short (pixie cut), so I have been pretty nervous about it. I take 5000 mcg of Biotin a day, and make sure to maintain my protein levels, and thankfully I haven't seen any come out...keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way </p>

I starting losing my hair 3wks ago, I to have baby fine hair. It's coming out in my hands when I shower and brush. I'm beyond freaked out. Taking biotin daily, daily vitamins plus a new shampoo plus I normally get in 70g protein. I pray it stops soon

No change this week, which annoys me. I'm actually down .6 pounds but have gone up and down all week. I guess this is a stall and while I know all of the reasons for them, still have trouble handling it after working so hard.

As long as I'm complaining, still having lots of trouble with constipation. Made an appointment with a GI as each of my other Drs have recommended a different remedy and nothing has worked well.

Ok, end of complaints ...

I'm annoyed this week. I'm up from 224.6 to 224.8. I think I know why, but ugh. I was so sure that I would be down at least 2lbs. I have to shake something up.

I thought last week's 2 pound gain was the beginning of a stall, but I was wrong! Lost those two pounds plus another 3. Love being wrong. And I wore a size 14 out to dinner last night. Down from a 22.
