I really don't want to sound like a baby, but....

I'm a little over 5 weeks post-op and have lost 33lbs. At one time I was called a lightweight at a starting weight of 303lbs. I know the less you have to lose the slower it happens. I'm very excited about the 33lbs but I can't feel it or see the loss. My clothes fit the same they did pre-op. I thought I would at least notice some more room in my pants but no, I still lay down to zip them up. I am getting a little frustrated. I'm not expecting an instant miracle by any means, I know it will take a little time. It's just getting harder to be excited about 33lbs when I can't tell it's even gone. How much did you lose before you really felt it? When could you start to tell? How long did it take to drop a size or two? I would love to hear from anyone, but especially those that started around my size. Thanks everyone! p.s. I do think my ankles are a little smaller! LOL
