Question:
I was wondering if some of you could share your weight loss results at 2 mo out
my nutritionist said that the weight loss should be 30 pounds for the first few months Im starting to worry cause my loss since surgery is only 23 pounds and im only consuming about 600-800 cal. a day and 50-60 grams of protien . — tinluv27 (posted on December 19, 2007)

Tina, Congratulations!!!!! that's still great however you didn't mention
which surgery you had. I was banded on Oct 11th a lil over 2 months and
I'm 35lbs lighter with NO exercise. We don't count calories where I go you
just follow the rules. No counting of calories. I stayed on a liquid diet
for 4wks after surgery and then a week of soft foods. I think this has a
lot to do with the amount of weight I lost so far. I've just been given
the clearance to begin working out on Dec 10th 2 months after surery. I
have the best surgeon ever.

I had RYN about 13 1/2 weeks ago and am down 56 lbs since day of surgery.
When I was 2 mo out i think I has lost about 35 lbs, so I think you are
doing great. Some are slower than others. I don't know what procedure you
had done or what your weight was prior. I have been told the bigger you are
the more you loose right away. I also do not count calories. I just try to
limit my carb intake. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I think 23 pounds is fabulous. Congrats! I was under the understanding
that with lap band the weight loss was a bit slower than with RNY because
of the various adjustments that are made to make it "just right"
I supose. Do not be disappointed. Everyone is different no matter the
circumstances. Where you are may just be what is normal for you, be happy
and be proud of your achievement. Much good luck and success to you,
Leslie

I lost 55lbs in two months. I had gastric bypass. I know it depends on
what type of surgery you have and how much weight you weight before
surgery.

Having started at about 510, I lost a little over 125 pounds my first two
months. To speed up your weight loss, think about increasing your
protein-- 50 grams is a little low for maximum weight loss. Also, at 600
calories per day, your body may be in "starvation mode", where it
tends to hoard any calories that are consumed. By increasing your protein,
you will increase your caloric intake which should speed up your weight
loss.

I'm five months out RNY and I lost 90 lbs. Make sure your getting enough
water, it's very important to get 64 oz a day.
Good luck

You didn't say which surgery you had, nor did you state how much you are
exercising? You need to do that but also INCREASE your protein! You
should be getting a MINIMUM of 70 grams of protein each day. 23 lbs is
still good though. That 30 lbs is ONLY on average. It depended on how
much you weighed before surgery, as anyone less than 300 lbs will probably
have a slower loss than someone weighing over 300 lbs. Welcome to the
losing side, good luck and God bless!

Us light weights lose slower. I had lost about 30 lbs. at 2 mos. I also
found that I did not have the stalls that the larger of us have. I have
lost at a very steady rate and at 5 mos have lost about 65 lbs. Try not to
compare yourself to others because everyone is different and you can
really make yourself miserable. Do try upping your protein and water--it
really does help. And--23 lbs!! Congratulations.

I had rny in July 07. I was and still am a slow loser.. I have lost 56 lbs
in 5 months and before surgery I lost 20 lbs. I started out at 256 and
today I am at 173. This is why we had this done, not to look like a skinny
minny in 2 months but to be healthy and learn to eat correctly.. So i think
you are doing great!! My Doctor and nuti told me about 10 lbs a month is
good. Its a steady loss you want. I am about where you were at the same
time. We also started out close to the same weight.. Be happy with what you
are losing and what you are learning..

I had my open RNY on 10/8 and I have lost 52 pounds. I am stalled right
now. I think your weight loss is great. You have to remember this is a tool
and since all bodies are different you really can't compare. Just think it
is 23 pounds that you wouldn't have lost before. Keep up the great work.

Hi, I am 2 months out 10/19/07. I am down 35lbs. I started at 225. I
think this is slow also. But, we can't let that discourage us we must keep
it moving. I also stay between 600-800 calories. Not sure if we are to
count them, but it makes me feel I am in control. 60-80g Protein.
Exercise light, sometimes, must do better.

Hi Tina, thanks for writing. When I was losing weight at the beginning of
my surgery, it was still only about 10 pounds per month. Even with surgery
I only lost 1 to 2 pounds per week, but I was pretty consistent with
walking 5 miles a day, 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 at night. If you are not
exercising, you are cutting yourself off at the knees. Eating all the
right stuff only burns so many calories, you have to work out and hard if
you want real results. The decision is yours, but so are the consequences.
Fight for your weight loss, you are worth it. Patricia P.

Hi Tina and Great job!
I had lap RnY on 10-30 and have lost 29lbs since surgery with a 11 day
plateau (grr). I lost 19lbs before surgery on the liquid so have lost 48
total. I started out the journey at 297 and this morning weighed in at
249. Slow but sure but that's the way to go! Keep at it and you'll be
there in no time! *hugs*

Congrats on your weight loss. i think everyone looses differently. I had
my RNY ON 10/22. As of this past Friday when i went to the doctor I was
down 41 lbs. It seems like sometimes I go for days and remain the same. I
stick with the guideline they gave me and that is all I can do, The doctor
seemed pleased wth my weight loss but I have not done anything differently
and haven's lost since Friday. Go figure....
