time table
i copied this from somewhere else. i just thought ya'll might want to see it.
If you weigh between 200-250 lbs, 35-45 pounds after 6 months is normal.
If you weigh between 250-300 pounds, 45-60 pounds after 6 months is normal.
If you weigh between 300-400 pounds, 50-80 pounds after 6 months is normal.
If you weigh between 400-500 pounds, 50-90 pounds after 6 months is normal.
Fran, This is great. I personally plan to challange it and hope to surpass these expectations. TT Tina and my hubby. They'll tell you about my stubborn, Italian, Parochial attitude. Not to mention I get a little *****y and winey too. A girl I used to work with told me I was full of Tenacity, was detail/goal oriented and result driven. l Well noone's perfect. . I'm gonna start thanking Dr. Godzilla from Hell. I think she put a little something in that Anesthia. I've been acting somewhat strange since 1/26/2004.
((HUGS)) EH
elissa,
i'm sure you'll be droping pounds like crazy. i'm down 75 pounds and i just hit 5 months. i saw there were alot of people very upset thinking that because they weren't loosing fast enough they thought they had surgery for nothing. i just wanted them to see that they are ok and that their weightloss is normal.....maybe not as fast as they would like, but normal.
Thanks for the info Fran! This really make what Dr. Wynn told me at my last visit seem more real. I am down by 79lbs in just 4 months and she said that most do not hit 60lbs until the 6mth. (I weighed 267 before surgery and now weigh 188). Oh, whens the next make over day??? Leigh is trying to talk me into dying my hair!!! Hope
