Lets compare
Hi all My surgery was Jan 12 2004 I had open RNY, As of last week my total loss is now 135lbs. No complications and i feel great. everyone just keep up the good work. Hey Alberto dont worry about your loss thats great, one reason you havent lost as much is because you didnt have as much to loose, in general a male will lose 10% of his total weight the first month which for you was 25 -30 lbs right? Just keep up the good work and youll get there. Im 6-4 and my starting weight was 430 im now at 295 thats not bad for just under 6 months patting myself on the back lol have a great day Matt
Started the journey 9/01/03 410 lbs
Surgery day 1/20/04 352 lbs (58 Lbs)
Yesterday 6/27/04 276 lbs (134 Lbs)
I expected the weight loss to be a lot faster but I'm learning patience. I am doing all I can do by sticking to my food plan, eating healthy foods only, working out in the gym 5 days a weeks (cardio 3 days, weights 2 days), drinking my water, etc.
We have all done a fantastic job and all we have to do is keep on doing the same. One day thoses scales will show the magic number we are expecting. We have been given a wonderful tool to help us make this work so hang in there.
Best of luck to all you guys.
