16lbs in first week.

I have my one week follow up with my surgeon tomorrow, and I've lost 16lbs. I just want to know if that's decent progress, because I feel like I should've lost more. 

Patience, Grasshopper.

You're not in a race.  Stay off the scale.  I know it's gratifying to step up and see a smaller number, but then when you hit a stall (and you will) it will blow your tiny little mind and you'll be here screaming "HELP".  

Spare us and yourself the agony of The Stall Panic.  Stay off the scale.  Weigh yourself only at your surgeon's office.

16lbs one week after surgery!! WOW!!! That's alot!

I once lost 50 lbs in one week, hit goal after two weeks, geesh, be patient, 16 lbs is amazing for a week.  As they say Rome wasn't built in a day.
