does your doctor think you're on track? 79# in five months is awesome!!!... look at it this way, would you have lost 79# that quickly BEFORE surgery?...prob not...so you're doing great...keep your chin up! xxxBecca

That is almost exatly where I was at 5 months - down 80ish pounds, then down 100 by 7-8 months.  You are doing just fine in my opinion.  If you feel like that is slow (I don't think it it, but if you are unsure) just make sure you are following your surgeon's guidelines (for calories, protien, water, exercise and vitamins and all that jazz) - that's the best thing you can do for yourself.  Congratulations on the weight loss so far!

I think you're doing fine...my surgeon told me ten pounds a month was a good pace...of course you're compliance plays a part and it seems that in general younger people loose more rapidly..it helps if you're male too, heehee....

You sound like you're having a great weight loss! But I think we all understand how you feel - everyone gets impatient, frustrated, pissed off at our bodies from time to time (if not daily!).
