I thought I was doing good....

Hello - I am 12 weeks out open RNY and I have lost 55 pounds. I thought that was pretty good and on schedule... but my mom told me that when she was at 3 months, she had already lost 70 lbs, and according to the weight loss planner on this site, I should be at 70 lbs lost! I also checked out a few other sites... http://www.thinnerself.com/files/Expect_Chart.htm -- according to this one, I am only on track to lose 53%!!!! How sad is that? The only site that gives me good news is http://clos.net/predict-wt-loss.htm -- this site says the average weight loss after 3 months is 56 lbs. I would like other's opinions on my weight loss, please. I feel wonderful and I've gone from a size 28 or 30 to a size 26 and some 24s! So, either way, this surgery has already been a success for me and I would do it again in a heart beat! But, I would like to know some opinions on if you think I will make it to goal. I started at 325 and my doc's goal for me is 180; my personal goal is 160 or less. Thanks in advance! ~ Sarah 325/270 -- 9/18/03 open RNY
