Is There an Average Weight Lost Range?
I'm curious to know if there's an average range of weight lost that an individual should be within after the GBS. For example, if a person is 6 weeks post op, should they have lost between the range of 20-30 lbs or 20-40lbs, etc. I understand that every individual is different, I guess I'm just feeling a little left behind with my weight lost of only 29 lbs after 7 weeks post op, even though I exercise at the gym 3x/week and watch my carbs intake. Some people I've talked to that had surgery +/- a day within my surgery date has lost 33-48 lbs. I figured that the average weight lost should be approx. 20 lbs per month, if that's the case, then I have 1 week to lose 11 lbs. Am I feeling discourage for nothing, or should I be concerned?
