8/16 9 week weigh-in

I feel like I'm a slow loser. I have about 200 lbs to lose total and I've lost 48.6 lbs as of this morning.

I had my surgery on 8/12 and I am down 45 pounds and I feel like if I loose 2-4 pounds a week I am doing good.I am having a hard time tolerating meats,I have just now started to have a piece of sausage and it stays with me.I think you are doing great!!Keep up the good work!!I still have about 135 pounds to go to get to the goal my Dr. wants me at. Lisa J.

Sounds like you are doing pretty good. I'm about 102 lbs away from my surgeon's goal, but about 135 from my personal goal. If I lose my surgeons goal I'll still be over 200, and I don't want to be over 200 lbs!!! I want to be in the 100s, even if it is 199! I have gone from a size 32 pants to a size 24 pants. Now, that I was excited about!!! JUDY Open RNY 359/310.4/175?

Surgery Date: 08/16/2004 Dr./Hospital: Kevin Fisher, D.O., St. Francis, Tulsa, OK Procedure: Lap RNY Weight Loss: -54 lbs. Something Healthy: My doctor has cut my blood pressure meds in half and will probably take me off of them @ next visit.

Wow, everyone is doing so well! I hit ONE derland this week, weighing in at 198. That's a total of 47 pounds since surgery and 102 pounds since last year. So, Judith, you've lost more than I have Good job! Aimée -47/58 until Dr's goal.

I have lost a total of exactly 50 lbs. So I am at 158. My docs goal is 105. I am only 5'0 tall. I have had alot of problems so I still have a hole from my incision. So of course doc won't let me do much of anything. Good luck on losing. Stephanie

I am down 43 pounds, BMI went from 44 to 34, and I am totally OFF insulins, oral diabetic meds, and HBP meds!!!!! Just came back from the endocrinologist today, and he could NOT believe it. Hee hee hee. I am 67 pounds away from goal, but to tell the truth, my own PERSONAL goal was to get the diabetes and HBP under control! Hooray!

WoW! its great to hear how healthy everyone is getting too!! I dont think you are a slow loser at all...you seem about normal to me judith!! Open RNY august 16, 2004 Dr. H. Pearce, Edmond Oklahoma -48

I think you're doing great. I started at 315 and had surgery on 8/17/04 and I weigh around 270 so that's 45 pounds. I couldn't budge my scale under 285 for the last 5 years so I am very pleased. Everyone loses at different rates. I know I don't lose anything and then, all of a sudden 5 pounds are gone. You are a winner my friend!

i was at my 8th week this week--i am down 84 lbs. but i have more to loose than you do and i had a stricture to so mine came off faster because i was constantly getting sick. i am better now. i wish you the best of luck and want to see you at goal! i have about 370lbs to loose. you will loose weight more early and slow down later. i think you are doing great!!! keep up the good work and stay in touch! god bless- sic katherine edwards
