Well i am 5 weeks out and feeling really good. Getting ready to start a more vigorous exercise regimen and kind of looking forward to it.  I lost 20.5 lbs in the first 3 weeks after surgery and the past 2 weeks has been i guess what you call a stall ( i lost  2lbs in the past couple days) . But i have lost more then 25% or my extra weight.

My question is my Husband surprised me and is taking me on a New Years Eve cruise should i wait to buy some clothes as its about 6 weeks away and are the chance good i may loose another 10-20lbs by then??

Congrats on the loss.  You should definitely wait on the clothes!  You will be changing so fast, it will be a waste of money to buy any now!

Yep, definitely wait. I'd ask for a whole bunch of gift cards for christmas and then go clothes shopping with them!

Congrats!!!  I would definitely wait on the clothes.  I made the mistake of buying clothes that I thought I would be able to fit a couple weeks out and during my stall I lost a lot of inches and completely passed the chance to wear them.  Luckily, I was able to exchange them for a smaller size.  I think it is exceedingly plausible of you losing MORE than that twenty pounds so I would just wait on the shopping spree :).

 Yes - l'd wait!! Tomorrow is 6 wks out for me - my stall just broke the other day with a vengeance =D
and l had lost a ton of inches during that time.  Clothes are falling off of me that barely fit last WEEK!!  What a magical, fantastical ride we're on, eh?  

And JEALOUS about the cruise!!  You are going to have so much fun!

Sounds like a great time! I'm just a week out, so still hard to imagine! If you wait until 12/26, you'll be able to take advantage of all the after-Christmas sales! That way, if you only wear once, you won't feel too badly
