Hi everybody! I have done the roux en Y on 12 November 2012 , I was 227 lb on the surgery day , I lost 11 lb in the first week after surgery , then 4.85 lb on the second week. Then my weight loss started very slow as follows : 4 weeks from 26/11/12 up to 24/12/12 , I lost another 4.85 lb , then from 25/12/12 up till today ( almost 3 weeks ) , I lost another 3.8 lb. Now I have a few of questions : 1- Do you consider this is a normal weight loss to lose average 1 lb weekly ? 2- Do you consider this as metabolic weight loss resistance ? where I have been on diet for more than 20 years lose and gain ( yoyo style ) .. 3- Should I follow a low calorie diet to achieve the weight loss faster ? My surgeon used to tell me dont worry , you will make but slowly . Is it any statistic about average weight loss after the Roux en y , that can tell me where I'm among these figures ?
