Question:
Is my weight loss on target?

I am 6&1/2 months post-op roux en y. I have lost 75 lbs , down from 246 lbs. I seem to be losing about 6 lbs a month at this point. I exercise 5 days a week- 40-45 mins.I am fine with the slow weight loss as long as I keep losing until at least my year anniversary. If I keep eating correctly and continue to exercise, will I continue to lose the weight up to and pass my year anniversary? I feel great! I would just like to get to my goal weight. Thank You!    — [Anonymous] (posted on March 17, 2001)

Here's what my surgeon says: You should lose 1/2 of your excess weight by month 5, then the remaining 1/2 in the following 12 months... best wishes.
