Question:
This question is for those who were over 400lb before surgery..How much did you
lose your first 6 weeks? I have lost close to 50lbs..some creep read my profile and said that I was doing terrible and for my pre-op weight I should have lost at least 100lbs and that I am messing up horribly...Is she right?? — tylerswife (posted on March 6, 2002)

I don't know what that person was smoking when she said you should have
lost 100 pounds in 6 weeks. I started at 400 #'s, and right now I have lost
65 pounds in almost 3 months.
you are doing fine.
don't worry about someone that tries to draw you into a fight, or make you
feel bad. brush em off.

I started at 370 and have lost 56 lbs in 7 weeks. Now it seems to be
comming off slower. I would be happy to loose 100 in 1 year
Good Luck

I started out at 464 lbs, one month post op I lost 38, at my 2 month appt I
lost 61, I am going on 3 months and have only lost 11 lbs.My doctors are
happy with this. If your a male the weight loss is usually faster. You are
doing very well.keep up the good work.

Rebecca, You're doing great! I started at 513 and at 3 months out I have
just now lost 88 lbs. I can't see this as a "failure to keep up"
NO other diet I could've done would've taken the weight off like this. As
long as you're feeling good, and your surgeon / PCP agrees, don't listen to
the creeps.. they're all entitled to their "opinions" .. Do what
you feel is right for you :) And hold your head up :) It's gonna be
alright...

Wow - that person must have been a real creep! 50 lbs. in 6 weeks is
FANTASTIC. I had lost 60 lbs. in 6 weeks, and my surgeon said I was WAY
ahead of schedule. Just relish your own success and write that member off
as a looney.

100lbs in 6 weeks??? Very unlikely, much less average. Your loss of 50lbs
in 6 weeks is great, above average from what I've read. I had only lost
about 35 at that point and was thrilled.

This person sounds like a delusional nut, you are doing great! I started at
425 and I am
almost 6 months post op and i have lost 110lbs. We all lose weight
differently some faster than others
but look at it this way at least your losing weight! And your on your way
to better health. Your doing fine
so far keep up the good work!

Hi there. I started out at 479 and at three months am now at 398. Everyone
loses differently. My doctor is very pleased and says i am way ahead of
schedule. Don't listen to that nut, listen to your doctor.
