Weight Loss Targets
Dec 28, 2008
As of today, I have lost 60 lbs! YAY!!!!! I did lose 14 lbs of that on the Optifast pre-op but still....60 lbs!!!!!I found this little tidbit on Diminishing Dawn's website home.cogeco.ca/~diminishingdawn/
For patients weighing 250 to 300 lbs.
10 to 12 lbs. in first 10 days
15 to 25 lbs. in 6 weeks
25 to 35 lbs. in 3 months
45 to 60 lbs. in 6 months
80 lbs. or more in 1 year
90 lbs. or more in 18 month
I have lost a little more than the chart suggests but I am not too concerned at this point. I am just starting to have days where I am not throwing up something. This past weekend was bad bad bad. I was so stupid to eat deep fried anything but I figured, only a couple won't hurt! Yeah, right! Note to self "smarten up!"
I tried the iron supplement that I needed this morning. The pharmacist said I could try crushing them but they did not stay down very long. Ugh! 
I think I am going to try to swallow my pills whole tomorrow to see how that goes.
