A tool that projects the loss? Seriously!!!
yup, I think its so cool. I've checked it a few times. It's great for when I think I'm slowing down and then I check it and it shows that I am further along than predicted

Pre-Op=8.8lbs --- Optifast= 8.4 (was on it for 9 days due to cancellation)
M1 - 20.6... M2 -10.2... M3 -8.0... M4 -5.8... M5 -9.0... M6 -5.2... M7 -7.0... M8 -2.2... M9 -0.9... M10 -2.6... M11-0.6... M12-2.0
I was surprised by this tool as it shows that the sleeve has a better weight loss than RNY. I thought it was the other way around.

Good morning,
Obesity Help also has a resource that I have been using and LOVE it. I was told about it on the "What are you Eating" thread. You put in your weight prior to surgery (after Opti), and enter in the percentage of weight loss you would like to achieve. I put in 100%, 90% and 80% (of the excess weight). Of the 100%, at month 5, I am at the Month 4 weight (according to this, 6 lbs. heavier than I should be) which is pretty accurate. It is a guide only. The BMI team says we should lose 60 to 80% of our excess weight, so using 100% probably shows that I am ahead of the game.
Look under resources. I also use the BMI calculator and update it along with my weight and measurements on a monthly basis.
Look at it; it's a great resource and fun to look at it remembering IT IS ONLY A GUIDE! No disappointment allowed.
