So how has everyone's experience been with losing weight while being young? Do you think it came off faster because you are in your 20's? I'm going to the first seminar next week and I'm 20 years old. Just wondering what you guys thought about it!

I think age, weight and other things are major factors in the weightloss. I lost uber fast at the beginning and then it trickled off to where I am now... Unfortunately, I can't give you a concrete answer... but good luck! :)

The more things the change, the more they're still the same.

I don't think I have been really losing any slower or faster than other people who are of similar weight as me who are older. I did have a completely complication-free surgery though, which I think age contributes to. I also feel that it gives me a better chance of adapting to new habits.

There are many factors that go into how quickly you lose weight... the biggest is if you are having RNY is how much your surgeon bypasses... then things like age, start weight etc go into it. It really doesnt matter how quickly you lose... its that you reach your goal. No reason to rush, the time will fly by quickly - trust me!

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)
