My surgery was on June 12, so I'm still a few days shy of my 2-month mark. I weigh myself a couple of times a week, and today I saw that I weigh a full 50 pounds less than when I started my 2-week pre-op diet! I'm including weight lost during those 2 weeks because, hey, I worked for that! I still can't see any difference in the mirror, but I can see inches of difference in how my clothes fit. I'm on the way to goal!

Awesome! Good work and congrats! Just look at your nearest kindergartener - you just lost about that much weight! (There's probably better examples, but this is what comes to mind since I've just retrieved my kindergartener from the tub!)

Congrats! When I first started posting to WLS forums I was confused as to why some didn't clarify their post surgery loss specifically. I get it now- it all counts! Buy a new size, I'm sure your in one!

Thank you Peachpie! If I had lost that portion of the weight long before surgery, I wouldn't include it. But if anything, that loss immediately prior to surgery took even more effort, so I am happy to claim it!

Great job. It must be so satisfying to see the lbs melt away. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
