Update: Welllllll fudge!!
OK so going on the theory it was a typo I emailed her back yesterday. Basically it went like this :
From Me : 10-15 pounds per WEEK!?!? OMG I am not even close. Granted I am not out there working out for hours either but I do walk a mile + a day using Walk Away The Pounds Videos. I am only averaging 4 pounds a week! I am totally doing something wrong if the average is 10-15lbs a WEEK!
Her Reply: Just remember people are all different and If you are taking in more then 2cups of food in any one setting then cut back the portions and just keep on trying cuz just remember 4 lbs is better then nothing.
So does that mean it wasn't a typo? I mean wouldn't she say something like "Oh no I mean a month!" And I have NO clue where the 2 cups of food in any one setting part came from. OMG who the heck can get that much down in a sitting???
I am not even going to reply. Thats just crazy. I am sticking with my 10-15lbs a MONTH and going with that. lol

Yeah, 2 cups in one sitting is crazy!!! Wouldn't that mean something was wrong like too big of a stoma??? When do you have your next check up with your surgeon? If it's not too far away, I would ask him/her then if you're still worried about it. But I really don't think you're different from the majority. All of us on this board are about at the same place aren't we? ~those of us who post anyway~
OK got thru to my Surgeons Office ( can I just tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Rohrers staff ) anyways they said I should be averaging ( after the first month of course ) 8 to 10lbs per month. I told her what I was told by the BC and she said maybe for the first month but no way you or anyone is going to be able to do that contentiously.
WHEW!
Ok so I knew she was going to say that lol but I also thought the BC would say that to.
Was nice to hear from "those in the official know" that I am average lolol.
Thanks for reading!

WHAT???? TWO CUPS in ONE setting??????
Okay, this person is out of her mind and needs to be reported to the surgeon if this is the kind of information she is giving out because she is SO off it's not even funny.
Yes, I agree, we are all different and lose at different rates, but NO ONE at our stage can eat 2 cups of food at one sitting. And, we aren't going to lose that much weight a WEEK either.
She's crazy....or on drugs....or going thru some sort of crisis and isn't paying attention to what she is saying. But, I still think she needs to be reported. Seriously. She could really mess up some people if they are trying to eat that much!
JMHO....well, maybe NOT so H today.

OH come now you cant do 2 cups at one sitting?? What are ya slow? ROFLMAO Just kidding of course!!!
I called the surgeons office and told Lisa about it ( shes the surgeons right had and if you want it done you call Lisa lol ). Sadly as with most of the clinics here the surgeons office has little to do with or control over the NUT or BC part of the program. Hubby is like well its your own fault you should have just called Lisa in the first place lol. This is my second WLS clinic and the only thing thats different at this one is the AWESOME surgeons office part.
I doubt they will do much about it but hey I told them so I did what I could. Lisa said she might not be feeling well or something to that effect but I find that a not so good excuse *shrug*.
Oh well lol I learned my lesson and will stick with calling the Surgeons office lol.
*HUGS*

ROFLMAO!!! YES, I AM slow. I only eat 2-4 ounces at a time!! Mercy me. I wonder who the heck she sees that can eat 2 CUPS of food at a sitting? Maybe a person who has NOT had WLS??? Hmmmmm.....
I'm glad you let the surgeon's office know about what she's telling people. Maybe they'll find another NUT to send patients to after this! Good grief! Don't blame you about calling the surgeon's office from here on out. I have a feeling they will give you better info!!
BTW, what did Lisa say you should be losing?? Inquiring minds want to know.
