anyone similar to me??

Hi there I was curious ( I get everyone is different) about people who started off like me.....I'm 5'2 and weighed 237 (43 bmi) when i had surgery. Now I'm 180 (32.9 bmi) totaling a loss of 57lbs. I'm very happy with the loss but was wondering where others might be. My dr. told me to expect 1lb a week and that he would be happy with 5lbs a month. What about you dee

Dee; I started at 5' 2.5" and 253. I lost 12 lbs. with my pre-op diet and was 241 on day of surgery. I'm now 5'4" and 182, so 59 lbs. since surgery, 71 lbs. overall. I had an appointment with my surgeon last week and she said now that I'm past the first three months, I should be losing 8-10 lbs. a month. So other than the discrepancy in monthly weight loss goals from our surgeons, it sounds like we're tracking similar. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 182 / 137

I am 4 months post op lap RNY Dec 9 down from BMI 55 to 43.2 and 73 lbs, my adult daughter had lap RNY a month ahead of mine NOV 7 and has lost about 113lbs. I think it depends on activity level plus how overweight you are to begin with. ??

My surgery was 11/10/05, and so far...79 pounds gone for me. I love this! I thank God for this surgery and how many people it has helped.

well lets see, i started at 378 8 months before surgery then day of surgery i was 358 now according to my scale i've lost 90 lbs since surgery and 110 since early last year.but mine has been slow for about a month. i'm 5,10" rich w

I started at 270 and I am 5'1. I am now 205 with a loss of 65lbs.

Hi Dee Dee, We are surgery twins. I started at 5'3 255.5 lbs and now weigh 187, so I am down 68.5 lbs. I think we are about on track with each other. I feel like I am losing slowly, but I am just happy that it is coming off! R. Sperry

I was 270 at 5'6.5 and to date I have lost 45 pounds but 37 inches or so, I am losing slow,, it frustrates me but at least it is coming off!

I had Lap RNY 11/18/05. I'm 5'2, starting weight on surgery day 305. Current weight 218 (-87 lbs), goal 140. I lose about 3 pounds per week. My surgeon said my weight loss should not slow down for quite some time as long as I stick to eating 3-4 ounces per meal. Sometimes I find it hard to eat such a small amount anymore, but I'm trying to not stretch out the pouch prematurely. Sounds like everyone is doing great so far! Let's keep supporting each other! Jen
