Congrats Mary!!!   That is awesome.  That is not a bad number I must say.  I hope I do as well.

I started my liquid diet on wednesday.  WOW is all I can say.  My stomach says GGGRRRR!  Im praying it goes by fast.

Stay positive Mary.  Just think next summer on a beach, maybe in a bikini .  YAH!!!

Mary,

I think you are doing fabulous.  I go to the same surgical group as you and I remember when the NUT told me at my 3 wk visit I was doing  an "average" weight loss.  .  Being told this was really off-putting to me.  I'll admit, when she told me I was above average at my last visit I felt great.  Maybe they need to step away from this whole grading thing because I felt it played with my head a little.

Just come here and we'll remind you of what a great job you're doing   ;)

Mary, forget about that NUT.  I think you are right on track.  Heck, at three weeks out I still was retaining some water because of the trauma of surgery, and the scale wasn't showing a huge loss yet.  Don't stress - you are doing WONDERFULLY!  And 550-700 is extremely low-calorie, does she want you to live on air and vitamins alone?  LOL.

Keep your chin up, you will be a huge success.
