RNY Average Loss in First 4-6

Hi, I know that this question is a totally unique one but maybe I can gauge an averge based on a few answers from you ladies/gents. I'd like to know what the average weight loss is like for the first 4-6 months after RNY. Normally, when I focus on eating right I can lose up to 2 pounds per day (I have done this before by eating 1200 well-rounded calories and doing Zumba about 4 times per week along with drinking a lot of water). So I was hoping to dream about future weight loss goals after my RNY. I know everyone is different but whats the norm/average weight loss at 4 and 6 months. I have heard of girls my age getting to -125 pound losses between 4 and 6 months out yet I have also heard people at -100 pound losses at almost 8 months out. So I'd like to get an estimation. Thanks.

 it took me over a year to get to -100 but i guess i don't have as much to lose as a lot of people (but not really a lightweight either, idealy i'll lose 130 total). i'd say around 6 months i was probably down around 70-80 pounds

I made it to the century club on my six month aniversary exactly. I started at a similar weight to you so you can take from that what you will. It is very individualized so don't get discouraged if you see someone loosing more than you etc. I know it's easier said than done. You also have to remember that perhaps you might not be loosing on the scale but you might be loosing in inches. I take my measurements monthly and it really helps if I'm having a bad month scale wise to look and see I've lost a lot of inches. My dietitian reminded me that sometimes the scale may say we are the same or gained more, but that could just mean we are gaining muscle mass as muscles weigh more than fat and in taking your measurements that really helps to identify that.

I've seen this posted on OH a lot and found it a helpful reminder when ever I stall, maybe it will help you with realistic expectations through your own journey.

Thanks those were very helpful replies. I'll keep this in mind so I don't discourage myself for not losing enough! :)

The average for guys/gals is about 70-100lbs the first 6 months.

 I got the sleeve, and I'm down 34lbs in little over 3 weeks. Good luck to you

Whereas I had RYN and am 30 lbs down 9 days out. Everyone is different. Just hang in there and like they said take your measurments! Good luck!
