Question:
For those who started in the 320s (RNY)
Can you give me an idea of where your weight loss was at the 6 month mark? I will be 6 months on Christmas and am down 85 pounds. This is great. I am thankful. And I am also curious as to where you were/are at 6 months post if you started in the 320s. And even though I'm not supposed to, yes I will be comparing myself to you.

I started at 310, and three days shy of 3 months post-op, I've lost 73 lbs.
Can't wait to see where I am at 6 months. :-) I hope to lose 170 overall.

Start weight 313, surgery July 23rd, weight TODAY 213. 100 pounds gone in
less than 5 months. You have to remember EVERYONE is different, length of
bypasses vary, and each persons resistance to loss is different too. Were
not in a race with each other, were in a fight for health, with ourselves.
Now I am thrilled with my loss, and HOPE to get around 200 pounds. BUT
surgery is already a success, I am healthier and feel like a teenager. The
AVERAGE loss is 70% or so of what were overweight by. So all of you reading
this please be happy for what you get, wether you get to goal or not. COULD
you of dreamed of loosing as much as you have, and keeping most of it off?

Hi: I started out at 346. At six months out I was down 102lbs. I am
about 10 1/2 months and currently down 155lbs! However, I am excerising
about 5-6 times a week, which I'm sure has really helped me! You are doing
great!

I was 336 when I had surgery on 14 Aug 01. I am now 260. I have however
noticed that my weight loss has slowed quite a bit which I expected it to.
I think you're doing great...good luck.
