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!

Thanks everyone for updating your numbers. The percentages will be a little bit lower this week than last week since many of you have updated your total pounds wanting to be lost which raises that number.

Currently here we are:

Total pounds to lose: 4207.8

Total pounds lost to date: 2894.3 (that is AMAZING)

Percentage towards goal: 68.7%

GREAT job everyone!

6 month surgiversary today! I'm thrilled beyond words.

I haven't posted for a while because I just got back from two weeks in Croatia. Eating per plan didn't go well, but I got loads of excercise (stair master all day long). I did eat lots of fresh fish and didn't stray too badly - leading to a 1 lb. loss.

Yeah! - I reached my Surgeon's goal for me!

Hello my friends AND congrats! As of yesterday, I moved into the 160's, will post tomorrow, Lord willing, but wanted to tell you one of my victories...I'm now just over weight, Woohooo...my bmi is now in the 20's and I'm no longer considered morbidly obese or obese, now I'm just over weight, what the heck, I'm happy about being overweight AND I love it! And I'm in the 160's. Woop whoop, I'm happy and now getting healthier, so awesome. I have a wedding to attend today in a size 10ish dress from a size 26, its a lil big but I bought it 3weeks ago, can't change now. Still having spasms but learning to live with it since I get to also say, I'm losing weight, yippie! Thx for reading, gl as always my friends and happy losing, LOSERS????. I LOVE BEING CALLED THAT!

Goal total pounds I want to lose: 152 so I have about 26 more pounds to go (goal weight is 170)

My goal weight has never really been "set". Originally I thought about 175 but now I'm thinking 170. I guess I will keep going until my body levels out!!
