http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/its-not-pounds-its-percentages.1844/Wow, this makes me feel better. Someone that had surgery one day before me has lost 73 pounds already and I get discouraged because I have only lost 40. I know that 40 pounds in six weeks is amazing, but when you see people that lost 100 pounds in three months, it makes me feel bad. This is helpful.
