How much have you lost so far??

I have lost 31 pounds in close to 4 weeks!! Yeah!!! CONGRATS!!!! to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My surgery was on 11/8 and I have lost 34 lbs so far.

I just had my one month check-up today. (Actually a few days early.) I have lost 27 1/2 pounds. I, too, felt a twinge of "Gee, I was hoping for more, like 30 pounds..." But, after seeing my doctor, I'm very happy with this loss. I started with a BMI of 36, so I realize that I may not have as much to lose as a lot of patients. Also, I'm notorious for being a chronic S L O W loser. So, I'm very happy (now) with my loss so far. I haven't been able to exercise much because of my knees. I got the OK from my doctor today, to begin swimming. I've bought a swimsuit (UGH!!!) and I'm going to begin working out in the pool. Next month, I want 20 pounds off. Best of luck to all of us!

I lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks! Beth

I will get weighed friday on my DR's scale, but according to mine, which has been pretty much inline with Doc's, I've lost 30 lbs since my sugery date on the 22nd. I was three weeks post op yesterday. The frustrating thing about this all is that the first 20 lbs came off the first week! I went from a one week loss of 20 lbs, to a second and third week of 5lbs each. ~rolls eyes~ Talk about anticlimatic! But so long as that scale keeps moving down, I am happy. I expect my period to start next week, so I anticipate a real slow down this week.... but hopefully it will all pick up again afterward.

Hey, we had our surgery the same day. Since my surgery date I have only lost18 lbs. ( no weightloss in the past week ). But I am not getting in my protein, I have no appetite. I'm now on soft foods, and when I eat in the morning I'm full all day. I'm going to try some protein powder to increase my intake.

I had my Lap RNY on 11/8/04 and as of this morning i have lost 23lbs, i'm happy it's that much but wi**** was more. I to am a slow loser. Tina

not lost any weight in the last week I was thrilled with my weight loss when I saw my surgeon last Thursday, but I really want to get under 200. Hopefully soon. I have been throwing up a lot lately and that seems to make the WL worse! Roni 240/202/140
