I thought by week 4 we are pretty much OK. I guess not. Again so sorry. How did you know you had a leak? I don't know much about leaks.

That's not a bad loss. 35lbs. I'm 30 lbs

I had a sharp pain in my back, and told the dr. He sent me for a cr scan it showed an absess that required drain, and then xrays showed the leak.

let me clarify that is not 35lbs in a month. 35lbs in 1 month for me would be way more than I am expected to lose in a month since my total weight loss needed is 87lbs. My doctor expects me to lose 10lbs in October, November and December then 5lbs each month thereafter until I get under 130. But let me post my weights with dates:

August 1st start of program HW 207

September 23 surgery weight 189

CW 172

When anyone loses 30lbs in a month it is huge. I am just happy with each pound I lose. I can't compare myself to others.

Sept 4...down 51lbs...feeling great although eating still taking getting used to.
