New Month.. How much are you down?
Hi there! I had my lap RNY on 9-19-07. I lost 29lb on my own before the surgery and am down another 12 since the surgery, for a whopping total of 41lbs since August (which is when I started my pre-op diet) only 140 more to go, LOL. I know it will come soon but I am impatient, lol. GOOD LUCK EVERY BODY!!

You alll make me question what I am doing wrong! I had surgery on 9/26 and when I went back to the doctor on Thursday (8 days later) I was down three pounds. I'm not really surprised though because I have been doing a high protien-low carb diet for the past 8 months, so I wasn't expecting a big jump. Hopefully the loss will just be steady. I go back this Thursday for my two week check and it may be a better indicator. Congratulations to all of you who have done so well! Keep up the good work and we'll someday be referred to as the September Skinnies!
Kathy,
Nine days after my surgery I had my preop appt. and I too only lost 3 lbs.. However, my surgeon told me that I had many liters of fluid pumped into me which totaled about 10 extra lbs. Therefor stating that I was 10 lbs heavier going home than coming in. With in the next 3-4 days the scale showed a 10 lb weight loss. I had my surgery on 9-12-07 and am down 26 lbs. Good luck and stay positive.
