I went to see my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month follow-up.  She told me that I am losing too fast.  Go figure.  It was about a month ago when I posted that I thought I was losing too slowly and you guys said not to worry.  I've lost 48lbs since surgery on Sept 28.  That seems average.  I'm losing about 2 lbs per week now.  I think my doctor is looking at the overall picture and said I should be averaging about 10lbs per month.  Oh well - as long as I get my protein and water in, exercise and do some strength training.  In the first month, weight loss was a lot faster, now I am averaging 10lbs a month.  What more can I do?  Does this seem wrong?

In my first 3 months I lost 65lbs and my doctor was happy, I was told the first couple months you will lose about 20/month and then around month 4-5 10lbs.  I am 8 months out now and lose about 5-8/month.  So I think it depends on the person and how much you workout and so on.  But as a rule of thumb, go with what your doctor says because they have your best interest at heart!
