Shonda, when is the last time you lost close to 40 lbs. in less than 3 months time? Excuse me? I know that sometimes we go into this with expectations of really quick weight loss, but when you think about it, you are losing quickly. Don't compare your loss with others, that will just frustrate you. Just be glad that you are losing, and that with the miracle of this surgery, you won't see those pounds again! Good luck to you. You're doing terrific!
