Hi.   27 lb loss is great!   I had my gastric bypass 1/12/09.   As of Monday I was down 17 lbs.   I don't have a scale in my house so I'm not temped to weigh myself every day.  I do have a scale at work (where I'll be back starting Monday), but I will try to weigh only 1/wk.  I am on pureed food until the end of next week, per my surgeon and nutritionist.  I'm still not getting in all my protein (50 gms/day) and water (60-80 oz/day), but I'm trying.   I get about 40 protein and about 35 water.  I feel like I'm  drinking and eating all day long, but with the restriction on the amount I can eat at a time, it's impossible to get it all in now.   Good luck and keep up the good work.  And also, keep reading the forums.  I've gotten a lot of good info here.

I'm two weeks yesterday.  I've lost 21 lbs and thought i was doing well...  you guys are doing incredible!  I wonder what I'm doing wrong.  LOL  (Never thought losing 21 lbs would make me wonder what I'm doing wrong.) 

Thanks all for your help. I am feeling better today, just really bad back pain.

Here is a link that might help.  What I realized is that you have to block and copy it from Ticker Factory and paste it into your signature line.

Hope this helps...

Hi and welcome to the Jan 2009 forum.  I am 3 weeks post-op from lap RNY and that's a great weight loss for 2 weeks.  I lost 20 the 1st 2 weeks and then only 2 lbs, and our bodies to stop and fluctuate a little.  It's really important to take your measurements, because while the weight may slow down, you are probably losing inches during that time.

Best of luck to you and keep up the good work.

Hugs,
