Weight loss guidelines

Hi I was wondering if anyone has guidelines on averge weight loss. I had a doc appt today and I left feeling I hadn't done well enough. I lost 11# in the last month.

Sue, When did you have surgery? Everyone loss weight differently. What did your doctor say or do that made you feel like 11 pounds was not ideal? Did he give you suggestions? Lisa J

Thanks for answering! I had surgery 9/16/03 I lost 36# in 1 week, then 11# in the next 4 weeks. I had complained to him I am having trouble eating, he said that had to be untrue. If I was having trouble eating I would of lost a lot more, so "I was getting the calories from somewhere" I will not be going back to him, I can be called a liar lots of places. I can't get any info from him. This is the only place I'm getting any info. I was just curious if there was any kind of average for weight loss. I did find out I have a major infection in my mouth, my upper wisdom tooth root has broken through the gum and is infected and will have to be dug out. I believe that's why I have such a nasty taste in my mouth and why I don't want to eat. I asked him to look at it and he told me that he wouldn't know anything about that kind of stuff, that's when I went home and called the dentist trying to get help. I'm just pretty frustrated with myself right now. I feel like a failure.
