I had my RNY surgery July 23. I lost 30 pounds before my surgery date. I am now up to 34 pounds since July 23 my surgery date for a total of 64 pounds. It just seems like 34 pounds since July 23 is not much. It's coming off but very slow. I walk 3 to 4 miles a day. I am not getting in all my protein. I do try bug it's hard. Should I be worried ?

34 lbs and it's not even been 3 months yet is amazing! Everyone is different but it sounds like you are doing great to me.

Jeaniek, I was explained 3 to 5 lbs is what to expect. Heavier patients lose faster then lighter patients, (ask yourself were you a 200, 300, 400lbs,etc starting weight?) So, with 34 pounds lost in 10 weeks. That's 3.4 pounds per week, right on schedule!

Doing fantastic!

I don't think there is a normal. It looks like you are doing great. Remember to hold the vision and trust the process. Best Wishes!!

I'm just over 6 months out, down from 217 to 142, that's a total of 75 lbs. I started out great, then also slowed down until I learned that my body needed nutrition. I was so afraid to eat anything, I was literally eating nothing and my body was none to pleased about it. Once I figured out how to eat a balanced meal that was focused on Protein I did much better. Not getting your protein is going to force your body into a "starvation" type of state. You need to figure out how to get it in, it's takes time and a lot of work, but the result will be two fold. You'll start dropping the weight at a good rate and your body will reward you by feeling so much better once it gets what it needs to function correctly. You need to make nice with food, don't be afraid of it - respect it. For the record, I try to get in around 1000 to 1200 calories a day, that's my "magic" number to keep by body happy and functioning smoothly. Good luck

Thanks for the help from all you. Sometimes I need to hear it over and over to sink in. I am going to do this! I am! Thanks guys:)
