I know overall it is good. However the first 20 were within 10 days of surgery. I have been in a stall since Feb 9th and only lost 1 pound since then. So I am concerned it maybe wasn't enough for the first month for someone of my size. Thanks all for the reassurance that I am on track. I know this stall has to break soon. I see the surgeon again on Friday I hope a few more pounds will come off by then.

You're doing great - there's no right or wrong amount to lose, everyone is just so different! I had a five week check up with my surgeon today and I asked him whether losing two stone in the past 6 1/2 weeks was good for my age and size, and he said to me that sure it was, but losing any amount is good. It's about using the operation as a crutch to sticking to a healthy diet and exercise, and just making a life style change for an overall great result. Some weeks the weight will seem to drop off, others it'll be stuck, but there's not a lot of rhyme or reason for it - the body does what the body does! As long as we get there in the end, no matter how long it takes, eh? :-D

Great job, it takes time to put it on and longer to take it off but you will get there.
