I can't give you a week by week or even month by month weight loss but here is what I've done. 12 Days post-op: down 30 pounds; 10 weeks post-op: - 66 pounds; 5 months, 1 week post-op: -100 pounds; 6 months 1 week: -120 pounds; 10 months post-op: - 146 pounds; 11 months, 1 week post-op: down 158 pounds. My surgeon doesn't approve of weighing except at his office or at support group meetings (he really doesn't like for us to weigh except when we are in for appointments so my records aren't very regular. However, I am thrilled with my loss. Open RNY 11/29/01 -158 pounds

My first week I lost 14#, then 2,6,6,2,4 for a total of 34. My surgery was on Thursday so I weigh myself once a week on Thursday.
