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!

Down 3 pounds this week, surprisingly. I've increased calories and carbs, per my nut, in an effort to slow down my weight loss as I reach my goal but it keeps coming off. I love this damn sleeve ...

I am seven months post surgery and my weight loss had slowed down to only about 1/4 to 1/2 pound per week. I know that I am not exercising at all, which is a major factor, but I decided to try increasing my protein to see if it would make any difference. It did! I have lost 2 pounds in the last two weeks even though I am eating more calories. I think I will have to make time to exercise in order to reach my end goal, but for now this is working.

1.2 loss this week- I'll take it! : )

Have a great week everyone!

So my sleeve (George when he's grumpy Veronica when she complies) is quite deceptive. I was ranging 165-170 for almost 2 months and was very happy at that weight. Now I weigh 160.4 and a little fearful of entering the 150s cause everyone tells me I'm too skinny already and that I should have stopped losing 30 pounds ago lol

Its been so hard getting to that 70# Mark, back n forth...geez! But in all honesty, I need to start bck exercising n increase water, starting bck working and I forget to drink and don't eat till I get home, not good Ik, Bleh. Gr8j all, keep on losing:)

Oh it's been 6months and doc gave me a weight of 140, but stated that he's looking more at my health than weight but I made him give me a weight so I could have a goal from someone else to shoot for, its a mind trick that I use to stay accountable, tho, I was shooting for 135 so we will c how I feel.

Lost 2 lbs this week. I haven't weighed this low since the 9th grade!!!

When someone goes MIA from this group, you know it cannot be a good sign, right? Here I am. Same weight since May 27th.

The bad news:

1) This is not a stall;

2) This is completely my fault;

3) I was careless and in denial thinking that I had it all under control;

4) I missed a whole month of precious post-op friendly hormones time.

The good news:

1) I learned a great deal about my eating habits these past few weeks (i.e: I have the meals under control, but snacking - grazing - is my biggest problem);

2) I take full responsibility for my actions;

3) Seeing everyone's results on this board, week after week, has helped me stay honest and finally snap out of this phase (as I comparatively believe that I should be 20lbs lighter had I stayed the course);

4) I was able to maintain the weight;

5) One of the reasons I didn't follow plan was that I was travelling for a couple of weeks on vacation. So yes, I had a lot of fun;

6) I realized how keeping a diary is essential for me.

I want to congratulate all of you for staying strong and inspiring me to come back. I look forward to being more active on the board and feel free to scold me if I go MIA again (I get all updates via email).

after 3 weeks, finally a movement of 1.8 pds lost, and feeling good since it was a 3 day holiday weekend! The inches even with no pounds lost are shedding away!

This must be "come clean Monday". Thanks so much to BestYet2Come for sharing her last month's results. I had a similar experience and most certainly take full responsibility for it. I did find also that I was able to maintain my weight loss and was actually able to lose 3 pounds through my month of living dangerously.

I got myself back on the beam on July 1 and am very grateful for the 4 pounds I have lost since then. I still have a long way to go and the posts you all share each week are very inspiring and motivating to me. Thank you so much.
