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 to losing an average of one to two pounds a week but still chugging along. This is definitely the best decision I've ever made.

Keep working hard everyone!

1 pound lost this week!

Stayed the same this week again - running and not gaining, almost down another size but the scale is killing me. Next week should be better as I start my clinical rotations and will transition from 5 days a week in the classroom to the real working world.

Stayed the same this week, but not sure that tells the whole story. I did an hour of strength training three times and an hour of pilates. I suspect I'm building muscle. I'm feeling strong!

Down 2.2 this week!

Exercise will also cause your body to retain fluids, so it could be both water and muscle weight gain counteracting the fat weight loss. Or just your basic, regular mini stall that has no rhyme or reason

My trend over the last month and a half seems to be no loss for one or two weeks and then 1-2 pounds the next. Mixing up your activity will probably kick things up again.

Wow...my body must have completed its process of adjusting - I have had some pretty rough weeks lately. And BOOM - five pounds disappeared. Got on and off the scale a few times as I wasn't sure I should accept the number 200.2.
