Rookie. Sounds like you are doing wonderful. My post op is on Monday. I have only lost 7 #s since surgery, 3 # before , and 13# at my highest. So it seems to becoming off slower for me. Just need to be patient. Meeting all my liquid goal. I am thankful that I have a job where I can take 6 weeks off to recoup and adjust. I am still getting tired mid afternoons.
