I know everyone loses weight differently and that we really shouldn't compare ourselves. I am really proud of my progress right now, but I am afraid that I will get to the appointment with my surgeon and they will say that I should have lost more and then I will be devastated. I guess I am just looking for an idea on how to make a goal for how much to lose in a given time and some idea of how much other people lost.

I don't want to push myself too hard and get hurt, but I don't want to be a slacker either.

Thanks for any input.

Starting weight 295 (September)

Surgery weight 263 (March 23)

Discharge weight 271 (March 26)

Today's weight 244 (April 6)

I think I am doing well, but I don't have anything to compare it to. I am 5'3.

I'm confused. 50 pounds in ONE MONTH?! And you are asking if you are doing well? It sounds like you are doing fantastic!

Its 50lbs since September. I have lost 19 pounds in 2 weeks after surgery.
