Went for my 3 week Post-Op yesterday

and lost 30 pounds. I was so excited and surprised!! Never thought I would do that well. They gave me my next 5-week eating plan and I was shocked to see that just about everything was added back in. I go back on Nov. 8 and they said that they expect to see a 15-20 pound loss for that appointment. That seems like alot to me. Does it seem that way to anyone else? Amy

Well first off your doing great. Secondly I have to say that I guess it depends on how much you have to lose. From all the things I ever read and watch it seems leik the people who have larger amounts of weight to lose, lose higher amounts right away. I think if it were me I would feel overwhelmed to drop 15-20 pounds in a month. Just because I don't know what my body is going to do for me. I am sure you can do it though. I wish you the best and good luck with adding everything back into your diet. Shannon

AWESOME!! You are doing great, keep up the good work. I know with my BMI of 53 I am expected to lose about 40 per month for the first few months. There is a graph on this website, I believe it is under 'library' that will tell you according to your BMI what you are expected to lose month to month. You may want to check it out. Kell
