Karen!
If I am reading those numbers correctly, you have lost 44 pounds in less than one month! HELLOOOOOO???? That's a very large amount of weight to lose in one month. If you continue like this, you would lose 132 pounds in three months. Your body probably can't do that. Most people average between 20-30 pounds a month after the first month of huge water and fat loss. Thus, around 100 pounds at 6 months, more or less. You could be above average and lose the 100 pounds in less than five. That is nothing to complain about.
Take it as it comes off. Keep off the darn scale! It won't make you happy, obviously, no matter how well you do.
Wait atleast until you go to Dr. Callery's office to weigh yourself. I use to only weigh myself at support meetings at office visits. Period. You are doing extraordinarily well and should be happy with your success. Believe me when I say that you will lose this weight. (That's the easy part. Keeping it off is the challenge.) We have said it a million times in this support group......everyone loses weight after this surgery at their own rate and in their own time. But, without fail, EVERYONE LOSES WEIGHT!!! EVERYONE!! No one has ever failed to lose a lot of weight.
You won't be the first.
Hang in there Karen! I'm very happy for your success!!
