I had Gastric Loop Bypass 14th September 2016.
Highest weight: 315lbs
Pre op diet weight (2 week shake diet): 291lbs
Surgery weight: 276lbs
Current weight: 246lbs
I am so so pleased with myself I may not be losing weight quickly or slowly like others but as long as I stick to my dietary requirements I should be fine I'm going at my own pace.

i dont think you have done this in 3 weeks it looks unrealistic to be honest. When i was 3 weeks out id lost 11lbs looked smaller bit not like this either way u have done an amazing job keep going at it good job!!!

This is totally dependent on your starting bmi. I started at 35 and dr said to expect to lose 35lbs in 6 months, 70lbs at 1 year. When was the last time you dropped 50 in 6 months?!? Sounds like success to me!

Maybe it's just fluids, could it be that time of the month....that happens to me every month and if course my required dr. visit is during that time...ughhh, if it was a week earlier or later it would show I'm down 4 more lbs. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, there are two phases which are the "Weight Loss Phase" and the "Maintenance Phase". At around 7 months post-op, my weight loss came to an end and I naturally slid into the maintenance phase.
@@Melanie89 said "Hi I am 16 weeks out lost 67lbs but weighed this morning and im up 3lbs like HOWWW?"
There are probably 3 things at play here.
1. Holiday's are rough on weight loss. One tends to eat or drink too much and this can result in some weight gain.
2. You weight will fluctuate on a daily basis. I generally weigh myself first thing in the morning butt naked to obtain my lowest daily weight. My clothes and shoes can add 5 pounds to my weight. If I weigh myself after meals, that might add another couple pounds. Some women have issues with Water retention. Stress can also affect weight loss.
3. At 16 weeks post op, your meal volume has started to increase which gives you have an option. One thing to do now at this stage is to assess your Protein intake. Your Protein requirement is met by a combination of the protein from your meals combined with the protein from your supplements (Protein shakes, protein bars). Since your meal volume is beginning to increase, that also means that the amount of protein from meals is increasing, especially if you concentrate on consuming high protein meals. Therefore you could be able to reduce your reliance on supplements and the calories they contain. I went from 3 Protein Shakes a day, down to 2, then 1 and finally zero when my meal volume increased to 1 cup per meal at a year and a half. That is the method I used to break my stalls.

This whole gastric bypass thing baffles me honestly. You don't lose weight like you normally would. It's like a whole new science and a lot of it is unexplainable. I'm close to 7 months post op and I hit a plateau for almost a month. I'd gain one, lose one, gain two, lose one, lose two, and so on. Up and down constantly. Just this past week I've now lost 3 lbs and I haven't changed anything recently to cause it. I tried changing things and nothing worked. It just happens I guess, but it'll come off and then some. Just keep doing what you're doing.

i did it for 2 weeks. hardest thing i ever did. didnt even cheat although i was convinced I would. showed me how much i wanted surgery and that i was willing to do anything to get it. i felt dizzy day 1-3 but i promise it gets easier after day 4. Drink loads of Water stay hydrated. after day 4 your so into it. try and stay focused because if you can't do the pre op diet then you will find it even harder after surgery.

Im around 1000 calories at 6 weeks out. I'm losing and feeling really pretty good! I feel a lot better now that I'm eating more.
If I were really low on calories, I'd add in some cashews or something like that. High in calories, low in volume. My new tummy is not picky at all which is why is so easy to get in around 1000.

I'm 8 weeks out and I get about 700 - 750 calories. My NUT has us eating 5 times a day - every 3 - 4 hours.
I have a Protein shake in the morning on the way to work, then at least 3 meals with 2 oz Protein (all I can eat right now) and maybe a multigrain or veggie serving at two of those meals and then a glass of Fairlife milk (13g protein) to end my day.

I did the chop today. I went from shoulder length to short choppy pixie.

hey.yehh tiredness will pass although tomorrow is 13 weeks out and i still get tired and have to rest when i get home. but it wasnt likr that before. yeh 500 cals is probs what i was doing 6 weeks out or maybe less. because i go to the gym and excercise classes i eat a bit more so i have something to burn so yeh betwern 800-1000cals i eat im happy with that because im losing so much weight. everybody is different but im doing what works for me. this week i have lost 3.5lbs which had taken my total lose to 62.5lbs i am super happy!!!!
