That is so awesome. I hope I am in the same boat. Impressive weight loss too! I never had c-sections so... yeah. But good to hear. Makes me a LOT more comfortable.

The first month I lost 23 pounds. I lost almost all of the rest by November. I always thought a stall was a day or two it is not. I stalled out most of the winter and have only lost a few pounds. Im still losing inches though. Make sure you measure everywhere today because it will be help you keep your sanity later when pounds dont seem to be coming off on the scale. Sometimes the pounds dont come off because your gaining muscle or other reasons and it is very frustrating especially when your doing everything right. Thats why I got rid of my scale in February and I am much happier. I went to doctors in early March so I know Im losing again. I measure my Upper Arm, Thigh, Calf, Butt, Hips, Waist, Upper Belly, Lower Belly and Bust. I measure every Tuesday. I have lost 13 inches just on my waist. Over 11 inches on my butt, lower and upper belly. Over 8 inches on my thigh. Thats just one thigh and over 7 on my bust. That keeps me very motivated when the scale isnt budging.

Hmmm.... yeah. I was in a decent amount of pain. Not the "worst pain ever" but a good 7/10. I don't know how anyone experienced no pain, but.... anyway, that was not my experience. LOL Thanks.

Sounds like the same amount of pain I was in with this surgery and with the same Dr. I does get better in time and for me pain meds didn't do anything to help but in a couple days it does get better.
