Here's an interesting exercise

ok...I just had this wild thought. Of all of us who are post-op.....if we were to put our combined weightloss together, how much would that be? Post here the total amount of weight you have lost so far to this thread and we'll talley it up. I bet it's going to be a big number because y'all look so good

I'll start.......

140 pounds

EDIT: I'm not singling out the post-opers.....you pre-opers that have been doing it on your own before your surgery.....please post your progress.....it all counts too!!!

Do we include what we lost before surgery or only since surgery?

I'm using the number including the weight I lost prior to surgery. That all counts

For me I will say 167.  I do have 3 lbs of wiggle room and will kiss the 120's (for like a second).  But I have really basically maintained a 167 weight loss.

Aaron, that's a good idea.  We did that before at the Pennsylvania Pilgrimage, where we had over 100 guests and the number was crazy - something like 11,000 pounds.  Anyway, congratulations on the 140 pounds lost, that is a fantastic number and I know you're working hard to knock even more off.  As for me, I'll use the number that I've been at for about a year and a half and that's 180 pounds lost.  Lets see if we can get this number over 1,000 pounds Maryland - or even greater!!!

72 lbs

60.5 lbs as of this morning.  Have you gone for your 3 month appt w/ Dr. K yet?

nope...he pushed me to september because he was at a conference last week. It was supposed to have been last wednesday. Have you done yours yet?

Not yet, the 25th of this month, but I've got to get my labs done this week.
