Am I At Least Average On Weightloss?

So I had my surgery on 11/10/11 and I'm feeling better each week. As of today I'm officially down 80 pounds (that does include my 3 month pre-op diet), 56 since surgery. I guess I'm having body issues because I just don't feel like I look 80 pounds lighter. I'm much larger than most who have the surgery. My starting weight was 440 pounds. Today I weighed in at exactly 360! I'm excited for the number but wish I had dropped more clothing sizes by now. It can be discouraging when you have to loose 50 pounds before anyone even notices you lost 5. I'm hoping my results are at least average compared to other people on the forum? Now I usually loose a couple of pounds each week. Too bad it can't be like that first week every week! haha

    In every individual journey each person has the choice to either take the positive road or the not so positive one. No, I didn't always view everything with rose colored glasses, but I didn't want to

  • Opps Dorrie, I meant my surgery was 10/10/11, not 11/10/11! Thanks for the support guys. The way I feel now as far as strength and being able to preform my job better are things that make the surger

My Dr said quit looking at the forums to find out if you are average :) He said really this will just frustrate you. So I have backed off.
