First, the obligatory disclaimer: remember that everyone is different and will have different weight loss rates. Age, starting weight, genetics, height, complications all factor in to each person's weight loss rates.

Second, a thought: Instead of just total units lost, probably a more telling statistic would be maybe BMI (which factors in height), or Percentage of Total Body Weight Lost (but this doesn't take into account lean muscle changes...), or Percentage of Inches Lost in certain areas of body measurements (but everyone carries their weight differently...)

Lastly: Anyhoo, with that said, we are human after all, and we can't help but compare and be curious:

** Note that I am on the vertically-challenged side of 5' 1" **

Highest weight: 235.0 lbs (10-Oct-2018) BMI: 44.4 (morbidly obese)

Surgery weight: 223.2 lbs (24-Oct-2018)

Today's weight: 148.8 lbs (26-Mar-2019, 5 months + 2 days post op) BMI: 28.1 (overweight)
% of Body Weight Lost: 36.7% (-86.2 lbs)
% of inches lost chest: 25.0% (-12.0")
% of inches lost waist: 28.7% (-12.5")
% of inches lost hips: 22.2% (-11.0")

** Yes, I keep track of EVERYTHING. You should see my spreadsheet :) **

Thank you so much!
You definitely establish a new benchmark/standard on how to report weight loss!
And I am glad to see there are some fellow spreadsheet freaks in the forum.
I will have surgery on May 8th, and I promise I will be reporting based on "ms.sss" standard.
Cheers to all from Spain and thank you so much for sharing. I read almost each single of your comments and it gives a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

@med28thmed, here's how I do updates, from a phone: tap on the 3 lines top right corner on the screen, select "patients", select "my surgery," select the "my surgery with the 3 lines beside it, then select "progress." Fill in the blanks then save.

From a computer at the top of the screen, choose patients, my surgery and then to the left is progress...fill in the blanks then save.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
