Average Weight Loss for RNY Lightweights

I have a total of 115 to lose (my goal, my surgeon does not give goals)

DOS 4/16 -  232.5
1 wk out -     221.4        -11.1
2 wks out -   215.8        -5.6
1 m - 5/16-   207.9         -7.9  (total 24.6 for the month) 
2 m - 6/16-   195.6         -12.3
3m - 7/16-     185.6         -10  (total loss at 3 months is 46.9 lbs)

I drive myself nuts drolling over other peoples weight loss but I also constantly remind myself how far I have come - it is a frustrating thing, if you constantly compare to others, but I do it anyway!!

i'm about 7 weeks out and holding at about 188.5 which is 16.5 pounds loss, averaging 2.35 lbs/week, which is below the rate i was advised to expect (3-5 lbs).  Slower than almost anyone i've seen :P  which is hard to take but, i probably have had a better appetite since day 1, and my pouch seems to be "old ironsides" compared to other new preops.  My doctor and NP seem satisfied although I am not.  THey keep telling me to wait and see, so i'm waiting and seeing and trying to stay on top of the stuff i know helps - exercise and fluids.  i WISH i could get more fluids in me.  i meet the minimum 64oz or just under, i sometimes stay up late just to drink more, something that is not going to work for me once i start working again.  Fluids are the hardest part of this whole deal for me.

it's also possible that i'll see a big drop any day now and come back here crowing because i met one of my progress goals (lose 20 lbs).

Since December 08 - I have lost a total of 61.5 lbs. 

20lb of that weight loss was before I saw Dr. about the surgery.
I had gotten motivated by a friend who was working very hard dieting & exercising. 

I made changes- wasn't aware I was loosing weight till I saw the cardiologist & he told me that I had lost 15 lbs since i saw him in Dec. Still i was a month away from appt. at Bariatric Doc's.

Then I lost my 27 pre-op lbs.
Actually, more it was 33.5 lbs before surgery.
managed to weigh 234.5 morning of surgery....

Came home and was SHOCKED the next morning because I HAD GAINED SO MUCH WATER WEIGHT IN HOSPITAL! it was over 15lbs! YIKES!

It took me my first week to get back down to my pre-op weight!

Today- 2 weeks out I am down another 8lbs.

so- even though some may lose more in first month -
I am happy for my OVERALL success.

If I can lose another 8 lbs by the time I'm 4 weeks out- THAT's great too! Just trying to see the BIG PICTURE with a smaller me in it!

Thanks everyone!

I am almost 3 weeks out........I keep in mind that everyone has a different post op diet also...some can eat soft foods 1week out and then there are people like me who don't start pureed foods until week 4 and move onto solids at week 5.  So that said my weightloss may be more than some others simply beacause the only calories I intake are from what ever protien drink I'm drinking that day.

Day of consult               249.5    
Day of surgery               240.1     -9.4
Day after surgery          243.3     +3.2 
1 wk post op                  232        -11.3
2 wk post op                  224        -8

I am clear liquids for 12 days (2 days of that is preop), full liquids 1 wk, soft foods 1 wk & then solids. Hopefully I will have good results.
