I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow!  I've been losing about a pound a day and some how did not experience the dreaded week three stall...although the scale only changed by 0.4 pounds this morning.  I know some people lose faster, but I'm trying not to compare myself.  I'm thrilled with my progress so far!

The night before surgery, I took my measurements and I've resisted retaking them until this morning!  I'm really pleased with the results so far...especially in my waist!

Inches lost per body part:
Neck 0.5
Chest 1.5
Ribs (under breast) 2.75
Waist 4.5 --- WOW!
Hips 1.75
R bicep 0.75
L bicep 0.5
R thigh 1.5
L thigh 1.0

Tomorrow will be my first day back to work.  I can't wait to put a suit on and see how much looser it fits!!

    
Highest weight:  294  Surgery Weight:  281  Goal weight:  150

I am kind of stalled right now, but I am still losing inches ! I wish I had done starting measurements, because by clothes alone ,I can tell such a huge difference !! Congrats on your progress !!

You're doing great!  Congratulations!

I didn't hit the three week stall.  It waited until I was five weeks post-op and then lasted about two weeks.  If it happens, just bear down and keep soldiering through.  It won't last forever and you'll be back to losing in no time!

Good luck!
