AM I AVERAGE

Hi, had my band on 11/28/06 loss is 35 is this about average ? Deb.C

I don't know what the average weight loss is for the lap band but it sounds to me like you are right on the mark. Your average loss is just about 2lbs a week which is great. Keep up the good work. Sher

It is considered average to lose between 1 and 2 lbs. per week - the important thing to remember is the word average - it is not a direct slope down - some weeks the loss could be 4 pounds and then nothing the next to give you an average of 2 pounds per week. You are doing great! I on the other hand am doing horrible! I would love to be average right about now - average sounds wonderful. Embrace and celebrate your success - you are inspiring others whether you know it or not. Whatever you're doing, you're doing a good job.

I think that whatever we lose should be celebrated rather than counted. Keep up the good work!
