Weight loss

Hi all,

I had RNY on June 19,2017. I'm 5'5" hw 228 SW 206 cw 200. I'm a bit frustrated I thought my weight would drop off faster. I'm doing everything dr says but 6 lbs in 2 weeks. Ugh I look at others and they lose much more. I know that the less heavy you are harder to lose I think. Anyone struggle with this

You just barely started this process! Your body isn't at its losing capacity yet. But yeah, you weigh little enough it's likely it will come off slower. My overall average is around 3lbs per week (I'm around 22-ish weeks out from surgery).

Congrats on your RNY....I LOVE MINE!!!! Don't get Frustrated!!!! I think 6 pounds in 2 weeks is Awesome!!!! Are you comparing weight loss to LW's or people who have a lot to loose? I'm assuming you had to be on some kind of a "diet" before surgery and your body is probably reacting to that too. Did you take your measurements? It's pretty amazing how the inches come off even when the scale doesn't show big losses.

A couple of things you don't want to do is compare yourself to others and get down because you don't feel you are losing it fast enough. Being a lightweight you will be at goal sooner than you think. You will probably start hearing "you have lost enough" comments from family and friends....DON'T BELIEVE THEM!! Trust the scale and don't stop on your own!!!!!

Keep us posted!
