5 months, down 68lbs!!!

On March 24 I had my open rny gastric bypass. I weighed 311 the morning of surgery. I now weigh 243. I lose about 10-13 pounds a month and should be at my surgeons goal by Feb. Some people tell me I am not losing as I should be, but I know I am doing great! I was wearing 26/28. I can now get into a size 16 in some things. I am happy with my tool! Tomorrow I go to my surgeon for a check up. I will update my profile then! Love Angela

Angela, Dont listen to what some people say! You are doing great! Everyone loses differently....and if you have went from a 26/28 to a 16..wow!! You are doing wonderful !! Keep up the good work and good luck at your appointment! Patti

Pat yourself on the back! Every pound lost is a pound gained...lol. Something like that, I am still half asleep, congrats, you have done wonderfully!

Thank u both so much! Angela

Sounds great to me! I'm wearing 16W too, first time since the 1980s! I'm down 82 pounds, but the weight is slow now............ Jan

CONGRATS, THAT'S GREAT I HAD MY OPEN RNY ON MARCH 24,2005 ALSO AND MY DAUGHTER HAD HER'S ON THE 25TH AND I'M DOWN 109 LBS & SHES DOWN 104 LBS EVERY BODY'S DIFFERENT. IT'S JUST GREAT TO FEEL GOOD AGAIN AND DO THINGS YOU COULD'NT DO BEFORE WE BOTH HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO YET

Hi Angela, Dont listen to those people...I'm 2 days ahead of you, started at 313 and have lost about 76lbs. My surgeon said I'm right on track, so I have no doubt you are too. Congratulations with the weight loss and keep your chin up...think of it this way, after 5 months, we're almost half way done...when has that ever happened before? Congrats again! Sheila
