I am 5 weeks out and went to see my nut today and I have so many good news that I had to share!!!! First my 3 weeks stall is over and I am finally losing again!!! Since surgery I am down 39 lbs and he said that I've lost 11% of my weight excess!! That was so exciting to hear!! I mean, that seems to be a lot for so little time!! My measurements are also down a lot but I don't remember them all. Only hips are down just a little but I'll take what I can get!!

I know that it doesn't seem to be a lot of difference but I wanted to share because I love to see your pics.

PS: the pjs I am wearing didn't use to fit before surgery \o/

Above: Before surgey - 297 lbs

Below: 5 weeks out - 358 lbs

Congrats! Keep taking the pics because they really help you see how far you've come in the 1st year (I sometimes look at my old photos and am just in awe of how much WLS can change a person!).

Thank you!! I will because just looking in the mirror I can't tell that I lost something!! But the pictures give me some perspective...
