Two weeks post op

Just had my two week check. 18 pounds. I guess that is a start. I just wonder how much I have to loose before I can tell I lost weight.

Hi Gail, You'll probably be able to tell best when you've lost weight when someone else comments on it. Remember, you're with yourself 24/7. You're not going to notice the 3oz you lost today. It's kinda like that "a watched kettle never boils" thing. Other people who haven't seen you for a week or two will notice b/c they'll see the whole 18lbs at once (instead on in daily ounces). Also, don't forget to try on those old clothes you kept "just in case you loose weight." They'll be a great confidence boost. Above all, take joy in your success. You've lost 18lbs in two weeks!!!!! That's more than a pound per day. Keep the faith, Darrin

My 2 week check up isn't until the 25th (Dr out of town this week) But at 2 weeks, I've lost 20 lbs. & 10.5 inches. For me, weekly measuring will tell me I lost. Having a DH who keeps mentioning the hollows in my cheeks that have appeared also helps alot.
