Good point.. I was told to expect 8-10 pounds a month with the sleeve.

Trust me, and everyone else here, little by little does the trick AND adds up faster than you think. You are doing great, so keep it up and post surgery get a moving too :)

personally a pound per day would freak me out in a bad way.

there is no SET amount of weight you will be gauranteed to lose within any time frame.

a pound per day is a HUGE progress and very quick weight loss. that is 7 pounds per week, double what most people lose, and even what is usually recommended.

from about the 2nd month forward, i have been losing about 2 pounds per WEEK, and i like that. my weight loss feels more natural, uncomplicated and less rushed. i am not freaking out when the scale doesn't move, and i am not worried if i am losing TOO quickly for my own comfort.

as was mentioned before, you're ok for now, but 1 pound per day will be excessive it if continues at that pace. you should want to be HEALTHY first and foremost, and SLIM next.
