I was surprised by how long I was still wearing my plus sized clothes, even though the scale was moving down. But what I found is that when I tried on smaller sizes, they did fit(yay). This was at around 30 pounds lost. Good luck to you!

it NORMAL to gain a few lbs of your initial weight loss back since obvioulsy you are going to be started to eat more normally again soon...

don't worry though. things will smooth out. i lost 20 the 1st weeks after surgery, gained 4, and now have lost another 12 at 3 months out.

ps: try some yogurts, custard, puree some clam chowder or some other chunky soup you love...
