Weight update
I was 4 months post-op on Sept. 22. I weighed in today at 362.4. I am down 92 lbs. since surgery. I was really hoping to have lost 100... Oh, well, this is good too... I am just a little disappointed. Last time I was down 19.5 lbs in 4 weeks, this time I am down 19.6 in 7 weeks... I was averaging over 4 lbs. a week, this is less than 3 lbs. a week... I really am happy... just not AS happy as I had hoped to be...
I know how great it is to see the scale moving down quickly, but keep in mind that it takes time to get all the weight off. Dont be disappointed about only losing 19.6lbs in 7 weeks!! Thats great.. Your body will speed up and slow down the weight loss through out the journey. As long as you are doing your best then there is nothing to be disappointed about.. I think your doing great! And every pound you lose is another pound that you dont have to carry around... It will come off.. Slow and steady is good...

I managed to loss that 100 pounds in the first 3 months, and it made me sick as a dog. Be GLAD you didn't, even with surgery it is just too fast.
Over the first year I lost an average of 3.90 pounds a week. Mostly that is because I lost so much at the begining. I was down to 2.5 pounds a week for the last 6 months alone.
Over the first year, I lost just over 200 pounds.
