Congrats Carolyn - you are doing good!!! I lost less, but you are right in there with the rest of the people in my support group. My mother-in-law lost a little more than 50lbs 5 weeks out and she is doing great (3.5 mos post-op). I am 4 mos post-op down 60. Best wishes -

As long as you're keeping up the protein and exercise, you'll be fine. This will make sure you lose fat, not muscle.

I dropped 80 pounds in my first month and then over 40 for the second month; my PCP wanted to double check all of my levels just to make sure that I was as healthy as I felt. You may be one of the lucky ones to lose it fast-- don't sweat it. Enjoy!
