After 8 years...losing weight again!

I never posted on here before, but curious if this has happened to anyone else.  I will admit that I believed that the RNY had failed.  I originally lost only 97 pounds in over a year.  I gained over half of that back after about 4 1/2  years, and this year since December I have lost 30 pounds and I'm 20 pounds to my original lowest weight.  I can't say that I'm really doing anything special...and every week I'm losing about 3 pounds.  Has this happened to anyone else?

WTH...losing weight again

I could only wish

If you are not doing anything different I would seriously  question a 3 lb a week loss consistently.  May be worth a check with your doctor to make sure all is ok.  Don't mean to alarm or take away from the pleasure of seeing the scale go down but seriously not really normal to be losing weight like that for no apparent reason.

Here's to continued success and good health.

Maybe my post is misleading.  I'll give you some history.  One of the reasons I was overweight prior to having my RNY, the doctor that recommended me for surgery determined that because I never had a high appetite and would go all day without eating it caused my body to hold on to every every morsel I ate and contributed to my weight gain. So, after it took me over a year to lose the 97 pounds after the surgery I can say that I went back to not eating all day which I believe contributed to the regain.  I'm guessing that the one thing that I did differently that helped with this current weight loss is I went back to eating small meals throughout the day...and the nothing special I mentioned refers to I didn't eat any special...I just began to make my self eat something every few hours...such as oatmeal/yogurt in the morning, with snacks of nuts/cheese in between meals, a sandwich/soup for lunch, salad for dinner and plenty of water throughout the day.  I didn't pay attention to the calorie counts/protein...I just made sure I ate something...remember I couldn't eat a lot of anything because I would get full fast.  Through all of this I must have seen the doctor 3/4 times in the last 4 months and she found nothing wrong...actually my blood test revealed that I'm really healthy...and the 3 lbs a week was an average weight loss per week.  I can't explain it and neither could the doctor????

well that is reassuring!  Sounds like you are doing what normal skinny people do, you are eating healthy and listening to your body.  I hope you have continued success!
