Hello...i had my gastric bypass on 9/15...i started my liquid diet 9/2 and between 9/2 and 10/2 i lost 35 pounds.  however, since then (2 weeks) i have only lost 4 pounds...is that normal, average, low? i'm trying to get a sense for how much weight i should be losing per week on average. any ideas?  thanks!

I am sure you have heard this before...each person loses weight differently.  If I understand you correctly you have lost 39 lbs in six weeks and that is awesome!  Maybe someone will chime in soon with responses.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Thanks Faith...i've seen some posts of people who have lost 100 pounds in 4 months and am amazed and then worried when my weight loss has trickled off so much in the past 2 weeks.  Thanks for the encouragement. :)
