I'm embarrassed to say I'm also an accountant and rather than doing the math myself I relied on an online calculator... Then I looked at number I knew it was wrong but how could ANYTHING online be wrong! Haha joke is on me! I think I needed to lose 254 pounds or so to be a healthy bmi.

I'm still in the hospital from revision operation and feel time is slipping by. I had plans to hit the floor running when I got out to make the most of my first 6mths and I can't even get out of hospital. It's very depressing knowing the window is getting smaller and smaller. I just pray these fluid pockets and leak heal soon.

You are doing great! I had my DS a week before you and only lost 86 lbs. I have mobility issues (metal bar in leg, plates and screws in place of ankle and no arch). I am just glad to have some mobility back. Been in wheel chair for past 2 1/2 yrs. want to walk or do something to increase my metabolism so I can lose faster. Hang in there! In time it is all worth it!

so I calculated my % of weight loss and at 4 months its only 27.71% in order to be on track I should lose 50% by six months... That means I have to lose 90 lbs in 2 months...

 

I thought I was doing so good! 110 lb loss is great don't get me wrong I feel great about that but I was hoping to be a text book surgery and of course YMMV...

Ill take my victory of 110 lb loss and just keep doing what i'm doing and hopefully ill be set to get to goal!

your ticker shows 110 lost with 143 to go.  This calculates to 43% ewl already.  That far exceeds any arbitrary ratio

Hon, Looking at your ticker, your math is wrong.  Total excess weight you have to lose= 253 pounds.  Lost to date 110 pounds or (110 / 143 * 100) = 43.5%.   You only have 16 pounds to lose to get to your 50% in two months.  You are rocking your DS.  Keep it up.
