8 weeks out & down 55lbs.
Almost at 9 weeks out and I've lost 50 pounds according to a scale at regular doctor's office. I don't go back to my WLS doc till May 2nd. And that is my offical scale that I am using to keep up with my weight loss. My surgery was 2-5-07. I keep getting sick with one thing or another. Anyone else running into that?

Nothing wrong at all! Everyone is different and everyone loses different. Glad you're looking at it the right way and continuing your doc's routine. I am 8 weeks out and I am down 41. Congrats to you! Honestly I don't really excersize. I do have a 4 year old son who keeps me hopping and we go on long walks together but that is it. Lately I've been eating awful. Easter meant jelly beans which I love. I ate bags of those things. For some reason I can eat and eat them and never get that full sick feeling. I hate health food -vegetables yuk! So I still eat hamburgers and fries but I can only eat a 4th of what I used to eat or I get sick. I did not do the 2 week fast prior to surgery even though I was supposed to so all 55lbs..actually 57lbs. as of this morning, have come off since the surgery. I still feel like it is not coming off fast enough. Can you imagine if I did excersize and eat healthy how much I'd have lost! I figure I have about a hundred more lbs to go at this point which seems like an awful huge amount of weight but for the first time in my life I know I will do it. So far I've lost more then my 4 year old weighs and I can not imagine carrying him around with me all the time. After 100 lbs more I'll float down the street!
I am 8 weeks out too and am down 36 lbs. The scale finally started moving again after a 3 week stall! However, I have lost 36.5 inches total! I think I am more pleased about the inches than the weight. I am so glad I measured myself. It has been a big help during the last 3 weeks. If you haven't measured yourself do it now and you won't feel so bad during stalls.
