how much weight will i lose?
Ok, I know this is mostly in my head but still, I am blown away. I had my surgery 11/11. I am living on a liquid diet till Weds, then I can start a soft diet. I have already lost 25 pounds. What I am concerned about is that my surgeon said since I was not in the "obese" class, I would only lose about 50-60 pounds. Should I be concerned that I have already lost about half of that? How long does this come off at such a rapid rate?
Everyone is different and loses at different rates. Just do what the doctor and nutritionist tells you and enjoy the ride.

My starting BMI was 38 with a starting weight of 280 at 6'. I lost 50 pounds in the first two month and then a total of 85 by the fifth month. I am pretting much holding steady now as i am more concerned about puttting back on lost muscle and lessworried about further weight loss. My BMI is 26.3 for now.
