By 5 months out, I had lost about 65 lbs., but at pre-op I outweighed you by about 60 lbs., too.
Everyone is different-- many people who start out at "lower" weights don't have the drastic (and dramatic) immediate losses like the heavier people do.
55 lbs. in 5 months-- that's an average of 11 lbs. lost per month. When's the last time you lost 11 lbs. a month for 5 months in a row?? Probably NEVER, right? So keep doing your Pouch Rules, pat yourself on the back, go outside and take a nice (and healthy) walk and keep your chin up-- you're doing great!!
