I LOST HOW MUCH WEIGHT???!!!

9lbs in 9 days post op for me. Dr. said at this rate I'll be gone by Christmas. I said, "Good." He just looked at me funny then said let's hope you slow down by then.

Wow !! Congrats, I have only lost 10 in my first 2 weeks post op. I had the lapband....but still bothers me

Hello Deb, You are compairing your weight lost to people who have had RNY there is a big difference between what we did and what you did. Anything we take in is getting cut in half off top(for the most part, I am not a doctor or anything I just going by what I was told). You are eating less but still obsorbing food the same way as you did before. It is going to take you a little longer then it will the RNY WLS family. You are still part of the family just one of the younger sisters. We still love you. If you have any questions email me at [email protected]. Take care, Tracy

Hey Cheryl, When I was weighed I was also very suprised that 2 weeks out I had lost 24 pounds. I believe the more over weight you are the faster you loose the initial weight. I dont know how much you have to loose but I am looking to loose 250 lbs. Thats right you heard me. A hole person I have to loose. I believe with this surgery I will do it. So you keep going, and best of luck to you Julian

Hello Cheryl, I am 20 days post op and I have lost 25 lbs but it is definetely slowing down. I haven't lost any weight for the last 3 or 4 days. I think I am going to stay off the scale Yeah, right!

Hi Cheryl & congrats on the weight loss! I am 3 weeks post-op today and down 19 lbs since surgery. I lost 11 lbs before surgery. I havnt lost any weight in about 4 days though. Keep up the good work! Christy 227/197/115
