Weight Loss To Date

Well, as of today I MADE IT INTO ONEDERLAND!!! Things were going so slow I was really getting disappointed. I started taking my metformin a few days ago and bam, I've been losing like a pound a day. I guess I needed a little more help. Post Op Life is SO good!

As of today I am down 63 pounds, had lap RNY on 11/28. Ever since I started taking Zumba classes, dance classes and really doing lots of exercise, the weight has really been coming off. I started off at 281 and I'm down to 218....ONEderland here I come!!

I am at 48 pounds thjis week and I am so happy with that - I know others have lost more but we are all different so I am OK with that. I am so happy that I had this WLS! As you the scale is going in the right direction!!! Keep up the good work!

I had surgery 11-12 and I have lost 48 lbs I am happy w/my results becuz I know I could not have lost this much weight in this short time period on my own

I too think my weight loss is exceedingly slow, and you all have me beat. Surgery was Nov 22, I was 199 at the time, having lost 31 pounds in the year before surgery. I am, as of today, 176. That's only 23 pounds since surgery, 8 of those pounds having come off the first week and a half. So that's 15 pounds in just over 2 months. Not any more than if I'd gone on a diet. I used to cry many tears over weeks going by with no weight loss and then losing only 2 pounds or so, but I've just come to accept it. Nothing I can do about it. My main grief now is that I can eat so little variety and if I'd just gone on a diet I could be eating normally, so the slow weight loss is bugging me for that reason too. I keep track of everything I eat so I make sure I get in enough protein, calories, etc but still, you know. I want a big whoosh! Hugs, Ellie

Just found this by date site. Had surgery on 11/14/07. To date I am down 67 pounds. Started at 345 and I am know at 278 I could not be happier. I know before all this I could not lose any so I am very happy with 67.

I love this thread. I'll add my totals in as well. I had lap RNY on 11/13/07, my highest weight was 331 and I lost 18lbs pre-op, so I was 313 on the day of surgery. I am now at 235 so thats 78lbs down. I'm 4 lbs away from a 100# loss from my highest weight and cant wait to be able to say "I've lost 100#"

I had my surgery Nov 1st 2007 ,Im 5ft 2in and started at 239 and now Im 177 .lost of 62 lbs ,some times I dont lose a pound for two weeks...
