You are only 11 days post op. 20 lbs is wonderful but a lot of that was probably water weight and the swelling going down. Be patient and have more realistic expectations. Don't worry. As the scale continues to drop your weight loss will show :)

Scales are accurate, measuring tapes are not. You can "lose" an inch or two by pulling the tape just a little tighter, or gain inches by holding it looser.

11 days is just the blink of an eye. Relax. You have a lot of YEARS of living ahead of you.

You might still be bloated since you're only 11 days post-op. 20 pounds is great tho! Don't get discouraged!

Be patient, you just had major surgery! The body needs time to heal, don't worry or sweat the scale so much. Once your body gets its groove back you'll be losing in no time. Concentrate on healing & your drs plan for you, the weight will come off.

Inches don't drop overnight. You have to be realistic. For me, it would take a 40 pound loss before I noticed any physical changes. Believe me, be patient, once it starts, it will show more and more.

Congratulations on your surgery and your loss to date. Just stick to your plan, and you'll be swimming in your clothes shortly.

Thank you everyone don't mean to be a brat, but I have my measurments when I weighed 193 before and they are way smaller than they are right now, even though I weight 190 :(.

I certainly would not say you're being a brat!! You have to realize our bodies change over the years. How long ago was it when you weighed 193? Don't worry -- you'll start seeing changes soon. Just hang tight!
