Consult: 283.5 DOS (7/03/07): 267 Last week: 197 This week: 194 ( I'm a little annoyed because I was really good about food, exercise, and water all weekend, and yesterday I was down to 193.5, but today I'm back up 1/2 lb. Go figure! Oh well, it is still 3 lbs lost this week...I am losing much faster lately...I think it must be a combination of more protein and more exercise.) Total Loss: 89.5 pounds Since Surgery:73 pounds Since Last Week:3 pounds

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!!! **FYI--I have a question maybe one of you can answer. At this point (approx 8 months out) approximately what percentage of the calories we consume are being malabsorbed? Can anyone answer this?

It's my understanding that we don't malabsorb *all* calories, just the ones in fat. Initially you malabsorb around 30% (depends on the length of your roux limb, that's an average-- longer bypasses will malabsorb more) and it decreases over time.
