We currently have 85 people who have sent me their goal for pounds lost, and we have had 60 people so far record their weight loss. That's an AWESOME 75% participation level! Those pounds being lost look reeeeeeallly good!
We'll have another update on Monday, so keep those posts a'comin'.

Hi! I was sleeved 12/26 and feeling pretty good.

What a number for December! Hope all of you folks do well, I'm pulling for you!

Thanks for checking in Deez. I am continuing to pray for you.

Hello my family:). Just wanted to update: I'm still n hospital, I feel rather well but these esophageal spasms are still givin me issues. As I said the second swallow test was.basically inconclusive but the surgeon said it looked good enuff for him, however; until I'm 24 hrs spasm free, he still won't let me eat or drink:( so today is day 4, npo. Then he said, we just have to b patient bc it will improve, so I have to stay here until Monday mornin:( my 9 yr old is alredy upset when she has to lv me nd she doesn't evn know about Monday yet. Catheter n heart monitor removed so that's good. I thank God that I'm not evn hungry or head hungry, I'm just rdy to get up n moving forward in a positive way. I've been reading about how u all are and praying every night for yall. Take care and hopefully I'll have bttr news for yall. XOXO my friends keep up the awesomeness of ur journeys, I'm proud of you all!!!!

Leaving docs now everything looks great moving right along....

Oh dear Deez...I am lifting you up in prayer for you. I pray that your tummy opens up and you are able to pass all of your tests and can recover in the comfort of your home. We miss you here and pray you are up and around in no time.

12/17/13 surgery down 23.5 post op! Started at 308 day of surgery had lost about 15 pounds on pre-op so a total so far of 38 pounds.

I have lost 30 pounds total, but 15 since the surgery. It seemed like you only wanted to know the part AFTER surgery.

Got sleeved on Monday 12/30 - am now at home - yay!
I'm Jennifer - live in Frisco Texas (Dallas suburb)
46 y.o. 270 at least weigh-in at home, but hospital "bed scale"
weighed in at 112kg or so, which would be 246. hmmm
My goal is to hit about 165 and to walk a 5K before end of 2014.
Good luck all!

Continued prayers for you Deez! Hang in there!

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!

This couldn't be more true! Thanks for posting it. I have lost 20 inches so far in all of the places that I measure. In fact, my bra is down to the inner most hooks...will have to buy a new one soon! Sometimes that is much better than seeing the number change on the scale!
