There was a chart with peoples WL month by month? Link?

I recall seeing a google doc (i think) or some other  spreadsheet that included peopes information such as height,starting weight, doctor, etc.... and it had their loss month by month. Does anyone have a link to this chart please? 



Also , when people count first month loss, do they count from morning of surgery weight to 1 month post op- or do you adjust for the water weight gained while in the hospital? (i dont adjust, so just wondering when i see other people's data what they normally do)

 Some time back I read that the site crashed/disappeared/ got lost...... I don't think it excists anymore. 

 Yes, that was the lab rat data. The person who set it up and hosted it, apparently let it go, and no one could reach her. Someone here did manage to grab a screen shot of at least the first page of it from or some cached stuff, but not all of it.

I believe the data has been saved and plans are being discussed for how to make it available again.

It was an awesome and valuable resource.

The following is a snapshot of the site as it was on June 12, 2009, which is the most current snapshot available.
Remember what they tell the kids nowadays... the Internet is forever ;)

When you want to evaluate your DS- caused weight loss or compare your success to the published studies, the weight you use is your surgery weight.

Weight lost pre-op has nothing to do with your DS. Pre-op weight loss is often expressed in signatures by the difference between highest weight (HW) and surgery weight (SW).

ETA: Weight is what is on the scale. No adjustments are made for water weight because that can not be accurately measured.

You are much too fixated on the scale, which will only drive you crazy in the long run. Only weigh yourself at your doctor's office or once a month on your surgery date at most. Do take your measurements weekly, though, because they are a more accurate assessment of your loss.

Oh I hope someone is able to retireve that information and repost it. It was such a great bit of information.

There's a possibility that it will be tied into DSFacts which will be so convenient having all that great info in one place.

 sorry the link didnt work..
