How much has everyone lost so far?

This is my first post. I've been reading all of your comments for a week or so, and finally decided to add mine! I weighed in at the doctor's office the first part of Dec. at 253. My pre-op visit I was 245 and on liquids. I only have my home scale now. I had surgery Dec. 26th (trying to minimize time away from work...I work at a school). According to my scale in the bathroom, I am at about 235. So, approximately 18 pounds. Doesn't seem possible. I am, however, DYING for some real food. I am so tired of liquids. A protein shake at this point would be a relief! I am having problems finding clear liquid drinks with protein. I ordered Beneprotein but it is going to be a week before I get this. I am hoping that is o.k. Poor planning on my part.

I had rny on November 6th. Starting weight: 263 7 1/2 weeks out: 217 Total lost: 46 pounds. J.J.

Hi Crista, I will be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I have lost 41 pounds. Sounds like you are right on track. I am about a week a head of you. My surgery was on 11/20. Take care and keep up the great losing. And doesn't it feel great!! Sheryl 344/ 279/ 150

Hey...I'm 6 weeks out and doing great! Date of Surgery: 11/20/06 - 6 weeks Weight on day of Surgery: 418 Current Weight: 364.9 Weight loss to Date: 53.1lbs

My weight loss is so much slower than you guys. I had my surgery 11/13/06 so I am almost 7 weeks out. I've lost 22 pounds since surgery (34 including the pre-op diet.) For the whole month of December I only lost 11 pounds. But, today I finally hit ONEderland so I will be doing the happy dance all day! It's great to start the new year in the wonder land of 1's.

Congrats on hitting ONEderland Wanda.... that is awesome... WTG!!! Keep up the good work! Shawn M.

I was at 355 on 11/10... 350 on 11/22 (ate like a GLUTTON on Thanksgiving and only had 2 days of liquids so...I guess that's my RNY start number) RNY on 11/27 313 on 12/31 soooo.... I reckon my total is 42 at 5 weeks post op. I had 8 days of floating up and down 4 pounds at weeks 2 to 3...and i'm on my period now so I'm hoping when it goes...more pounds go... I walk at least a mile at least 2 or 3 days a week...and I'm going to start with a trainer next week (good to have skilled friends...she's doing it for free!!) Getting sooo tired of scrambled eggs!! I worked a retreat for 3 days and made some BAD choices...boy did I dump! And that's hard to do when trying to lead praise songs!

I think I'm losing like everyone else. Oct. 3rd consultation 328 Nov. 28th pre op 322 nov. 30th surgery 316 dec. 12th follow up 307 I haven't had my one month appointment and it won't be until 5 weeks out. I went and bought a scale at home and it shows I've lost another 22 pounds since the 12th. 31 pounds since the exact date of my surgery and I'm one month 2 days out. I don't know about you guys, but I feel damn hot already.

I'm almost 7 weeks out and have lost about 50 lbs (depending on the scale I'm weighing on). It amazes me how quickly the weight is coming off. I thank God everyday for this tool. I know there is NO way I could have lost that much weight on my own. I still have 100 to 120 lbs to go to goal and that amount just seems huge to me. Loretta

Thought I'd add my two cents...although I got a realization reading others posts that I'm not as far out as I thought I was. For some reason I had decided that last friday was my 8th week but that isn't until this Friday...so I 'm a little over 7 weeks out from surgery. Initial Consult 292 (end of Aug) Day of Surgery 261 (Nov 10) Today 227 (Dec 29) So I've lost a total of 65 pounds, 34 since surgery. Sometimes I'm annoyed that it seems slow but I'm still losing a little more than a 1/2 pound a day and that adds up quickly. And I'm feeling/looking great so I'm thrilled. I also haven't really started exercising except for walking so that will help speed things up when I get back to the gym this week. Corinna Q
