I am 11 weeks out and have lost 55 pounds.  I was stuck at 49 pounds for at least 2 weeks.  Then in one weekend I dropped 5-6 pounds.  I have gone through my closet and gotten rid of all sizes larger than a 18/20.   Even some of those are getting big.  My youngest daughter asked me what my goals were and I said to borrow clothes from you.  She is a size 4.   Except for pain in my mid thoracic area I am feeling really good.  I am going to physical therapy twice a week to strengthen my traps and rhomboids.  I had a different physical therapist yesterday and she nearly put me in traction.  I hurt so bad last night I could hardly sit still.  I ended up taking the first pain medicine I have had since I left the hospital.  

I am going to my niece's wedding this weekend and I am looking forward to wearing my new clothes and seeing people who have not seen me in a while. 

This is my first post.  I am 7 weeks post op RNY  and I have lost 45 pounds.  This has been a special day because so many of my coworkers finally noticed the loss and took the time and the effort to stop by my room at school and say something very positive to me.  What really made my day was when the male teachers finally got the nerve to say something.  They were hesitant to mention weight loss but they just had to give me a verbal pat on the back.  It really and truely has made all that I have been through over the last few weeks "WORTH IT"!
