I am six months out. How much did you lose in a year. My prepop weight was 242 and down to 160 at 6 months out. Down from a size 22 to a 10! At what month did your weight loss slow way down? What would you have done differently? Wondering where I could be at a year out?

CONGRATS on a job well done! I started at 268 (sz 22/24) and at one year I weighed 130(sz6/8). I am 5'4". Since then I have dropped down to 120(sz2/4), I willk be 2 yrs in Dec. My weight loss slowed down after a year. I wouldn't do ANYTHING differently! I was told that my body will go to where it is suppose to be and I believe that!
Best to you!

I was 245 pre-op weight. I lost 30 lbs the first 30 days, then the next month, half of that, (15 lbs), then the next, half of that, (7lbs) then right around month 3 or 4 I slowed down to about 1 to 2 lbs per week. I lost slowly after about the 6 month mark, but continued to lose until I was 20 months out. All of my numbers are on my profile, if you want to take a look.
I eventually lost a bit too much (at 150 I was looking a little gaunt, again see my profile) and I bounced back up to 160-165. I look good at this weight and it's where I'm most comfortable. Right now?? I'm at 180 and hating it! I need to get my butt back to the gym!! The battle continues....sigh.....

I was 262 when I had surgery. I lost SLOW for about 18-24 months. I lost a total of 137 pounds. I got to 125 for about five minutes then bounced back about to 140. I weigh 137 today. I would love to get back to 125. I am 5'1" I was a bit thin at 125 but I liked it. I exercise a lot now walking, water arobebics. dancing. If I had it to do over I would have exercised more at the very begining and lost all I could in the first year. You will probably have a little bounce back weigh, so if you lose a little extra, the bounce back will leave you where you want to be. It has been 3 1/2 years for me. I have done great. I still drink protein drinks and take lots of vitamins.

I started out at 240 but before surgery I had lost down to 214 (diabetic drugs made it horrible to eat) and the first 7 months I was down to 145 and was thinking I was done. The surgeon told me I could get down to 125. At 11 months I was down to 123 and he said I was "done". Right now, this very morning, I weigh 123.6. Two years. three months out.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Before Surgery: 214
Highest Weight: 240
Now: 125.6
Goal: 130

Hi there. I had my RNY 8/17/07. Just had my tummy tuck 8/26/08. I started out at 282 and am now at 118-122. Wear a size 2 or 4, sometimes even 0. My weight loss slowed at month nine. I maintained around 130 for three months, so that is why my surgeon did TT. I stick to the protein first and lots of water principal. I am a vegetarian too, so I have to make sure to supplement. It is a chore for me to eat basically. I have not really been exercising because of TT. I plan on toning up as soon as Dr. says ok, and maybe someday getting a booby job. Mine are terrible lol. Congrats on your success and good luck!

Surgery morning I weighed 239 lbs, 2 days shy of my 9 month anniversary I weighed 128 lbs, 2 lbs below goal. I continued to lose to 1 year out then leveled out. Actually got smaller than I wanted, but now I maintain around 125-127 lbs. Almost 4 years out, it takes lots of work to stay on track and within my comfortable range. When I get above 127 I seriously start looking at my eating.

I am just a little over one year out and started out at 248 if I remember right. I am 113 as of this morning and in a size two. My weight loss has been in starts and spurts (no gains), quite a few stalls, but pretty steady throughout. I am still losing.
