74lbs down

So it's been about 5 weeks since my surgery and I'm down 74 lbs total. That's including my pre op liquid diet! I'm super happy that I've lost so much but..I feel like I can't see it. I haven't gone down a pants size or anything! Shouldn't I be able to tell by now? I definently feel better, less bloated and uncomfortable, no more knee and back pain, I can walk long distances now without hurting, I can fit in my car! I just can't SEE it! Did anyone experience anything similar?

Starting weight:415
Current weight:341

You're doing great!  Start taking pictures to help you see it. Losing as we do plays crazy mind games with us.

Congrats! Awesome success

Take measurements and photos. The number on the scale isn't the only one to go by

Sometimes if you carry weight in your stomach mostly then your tummy will drop down as you lose weight and it takes awhile to go down a pant size due to the sagging belly. Mine did that. 

OH AND CONGRATS!!!!

That is so amazing!  I can't imagine 74 lbs. in 5 weeks!  Congratulations!

Since my pants had gotten so tight and I wore big baggy shirts to cover my rolls popping over the top of my pants (yes, I know....a gruesome site for you to visualize), it took me a little longer to notice a change in my pants size.  And I always lost above my waist first, then below the waist would follow.

But after those initial pairs of pants got big, then it seemed I was always dropping sizes.  

The fact that you can fit in your car is a noticeable difference.  The rest will come!

Thanx so much guys!

It just take the brain a while to get on board with the weight loss.  Don't worry it will get better.  Congrats on the 74!  That's great!!!

On the right track....  Keep up the GREAT work!
