Question:
Losing weight

Hi I am about 16 weeks post op from By pass. I have lost 54 and averaging about 3.36 pounds per week. Is this good? I started at 244 and now 190. Just wanted to get the input from others. Please advise.    — tayee24 (posted on September 17, 2008)

I had my lap RNY on June 24th and am down 45 pounds, so that sounds about right. I have often wondered the same thing. lisa

I had my surgery 6/26/08 and I lost the majority of my weight early on.. I have lost a total of 60 lbs. I am down to only losing about 3lbs a week. There is no way I could have done this without the surgery... You guys are all doing AWESOME!!!!

Most lose 100 lbs in a year....You have lost half of that in 16 weeks...I'd say, you are doing wonderful! Congrats!
