I guess I am considered a lightweight even though I had a BMI of 50 before surgery I weighed 245 pounds and am 4'10 and need to loose 120 pounds or so. I had my band to RNY surgery exactly 8 weeks ago and I am down from 245 to 212. Does that sound like I am on track with my weight loss? I am trying so hard to stay on the right path and be very mindfull of tracking every bite I put in my mouth but boy its hard!

Yes, you sound like you're right on track to me.  You've lost 33 lbs in 2 months - which is awesome!  My first month was 20 lbs and 2nd month was 9 lbs. 

HW-218/SW-208/CW-126/ Lowest Weight-121/Goal-125 - hit 8/23/09/Height-5'3"

Regain 30 lbs from 2012 to 2016 - got back on track and lost it.  Took 8 months. 
90+/- pounds lost      
BMI - 24 or so
Starting BMI between 35 and 40ish?

Welcome to the LW Board and Congrats on your surgery and weight loss!!

It's a lot easier to track if you enter what you eat on one of the sites that do all of the figuring for you.  I use fitclick.com but OH has a tracking page too.  There are a lot of others too.   It actually make it fun.

Join Menus and Miles and that will also keep your accountable.  Accountablity leads to success....and it sounds like you are on your way!!!
