First Time I Calculated Percent of EWL (Excess Weight Loss)
Jan 21, 2010
I have lost 56 lbs!! Yay!
So the formula is the number of pounds you have lost Divided by Excess weight (Starting weight minus goal weight)
So in my case it is Starting weight of 277 minus goal weight of 140 = 132 lbs
I've lost 56 lbs.. so 56 divided by 132 = 42
So I have lost 42 % of my Excess weight in Less than 3 months .. woo hoo
The *approximate* timetable the physicians state in order to be on track to lose all your excess weight after having the DS surgery is to be at
25% by 3 months
50% by 6 months
75% by 9 months
So I am well within in that and I am pleased.
I had surgery on Nov 4, 2009 and today is Jan 21 st. This morning is the 79th day post op since my surgery. So it's been exactly 11 weeks + 2 days
I've lost 42 percent of my excess weight in 11 weeks and 2 days?!!!!!
I can't wrap my head around that LOL
