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!

YAY! I'm so excited!

My current scale has lost its marbles so I can't wait until my new eatsmart scale arrives

A few days ago it gave me readings between 168-177 with a mode of about 172

Today it was consistently reading 170.0 so I will go with that

5 months out vsg plus hiatal hernia repair (121213)

Highest 293

Surgery about 236-7

Goal 175

Current low 170s -- wowza!!

Thanks Deez I hope you are doing well these days and not suffering with past challenges. I'm 5'7" tall and I guess very "big boned"-- everyone says I look smaller but I don't think so. My thighs are massive trust me. I'm still battling gastritis and inflammation so diet is very restricted mostly protein shakes powdered peanut butter soy milk greek yogurt beans eggs cheese and baked fish. I'm hoping things get better very very soon. Talk to you soon!

Another 2 pounds this week! And that was even with ANOTHER party at the local pizza place. Had 1 chicken wing, 2 pieces calamari, and the toppings off 1 Canadian bacon/mushroom pizza. About twice as much as I could eat last time I was there. Passed on the wine, beer and desert. Loving life.

Down 2 pounds this week. I'll take it.

I noticed a bump below my breast area on one side. My wife got really nervous, but then I noticed the same bump on the other side. Pretty sure this is the bottom of my rib cage, which is something that's not been visible for many many years.

Again, u look beautiful! Ty 4 asking, as for me, still challenging w the swallowing of everything, new meds, makes me more ill, but they promised out will go away w time, hopefully around 6 months which is next month for me and I just got choked our food stuck today, I just think I'm the statistics we read about and I'll probably have to learn to live w it, Idk. On a good now, I'm 60lbs down today, so as least I'm getting something out of the deal:/. I pray that your issues will subside soon, but you look fabulous. I'm 5'3ish, so to me I still look n feel chubby, others c the loss, perhaps I will too one-day:) God bless you, Deez.
