Question:
is this weight loss good at this time??

I had my RNY on April 15,2002 i was 334 pre-op and 8 days later at the First Dr's visit i lost 18lbs, and the 2nd visit i weighed in at 299lbs. As of 2weeks ago week i weighed myself and only lost 4lbs, and last week lost 2lbs. so now im 292. i dont know if that is good or not. i must admit 2weeks i was not eating alot, only because i wasn't hungry at all, i did speak to my doctor and he advised me to try & eat atleast a tablespoon or two throughout the day and i have since last week. My energy has just expaned and i feel so great. I dont do the protein drinks because i CANT STAND THEM. But i try to get me protein in now by eating high protein foods. PLEASE TELL ME IF MY WEIGHT LOSS IS GOOD UP TO NOW...THANKS    — stacey T. (posted on May 28, 2002)

I lost big the first two or three weeks and then it slowed down. I've noticed on weeks I drink a lot of water, I tend to lose more. I think you are doing good. I would think about supplementing protein though (if your doctor suggests it), I would think this early postop, you are not getting 50+ grams with just food.

I think you are doing a wonderful job....but I can totally relate to what you were going through..I hated all the supplements I tried and thought oh lordy what am I going to do...because I will need addt'l protein the rest of my life and this stuff is nasty. Until.....I was introduced to Herbalife and their protein line! I can't say enough good stuff about the protein supps! I love them so much I became a distributor. If I can share any infor with you email me and I would love to talk with you about it. I wish you lots of luck on your journey!!
