HI Lori,
I'm 6.5 wks post op from RNY gastric & I've lost 34lbs which is right
on track.....I started at 247 & now 213 but everybody is
different....what my Dr. said is I will hit a plateau faster than someone
who needs to lose more & exercise is a factor....I've spend an hour at
the gym M-F & still do cardio on my treadmill on Saturdays then take
Sundays off. He said there's a guy that has lost 60#'s in 3 mos but
doesn't exercise at all so fells tired all the time. So far things are
working for me. When I went to a seminar after my surgery the four gals
talking said loose skin is covered up by clothes.....I don't want to HAVE
to have plastic surgery....I found a 5 min workout for my arms online &
just bought some weights at Walmart.....what is 5 mins to possibly avoid
another surgery. Hope this helps & good luck with your journey.....my
Dr. also told me that about 6 mos. out everyone around me would be saying
I'm gettin too thin & look unhealthy.....he said to ignore it....let it
go in one ear & out the other because he could guarantee that about 1.5
year out.....I will give him back 10-20 lbs. & then be mad at him &
want to lose that again. He said to treasure the lose & just go with
the flow. :-)

I am not sure on a month to month basis ,,as everyone differs. But I was
told by my clinic that the average weight loss of someone needing to lose
100 lbs is 70. They "gaurantee" a 70% weight loss. But I lost all
my over weight ness...lol and have been maintaining for over 10 months. I
lost 120lbs total. Best of luck to you! hugs, Kim

hi, i had the rny on 2/19/09. my weight on the day of surgery was 299.
today i weigh 160 and couldn't be happier. my goal is 150 and i am still
loosing weight, but much slower than before. in my first month i lost
about 27lbs. at 3 months i had lost about 60. by 6 months out i had lost
100lbs. my doctor warned me and he was right.....after your 6 month the
weight loss slows quite a bit. well for me it happened at about 7 months.
right now i'm loosing about 5lbs a month. but at 1 year out, i don't think
that's bad. there is no "typical" weight loss amount. everyone
is different depending on how much weight you have to loose to begin with
to how much you eat and exercise. good luck to you. If u have further
questions let me know.
