I had surgery a little over a month ago and I've lost 36 pounds. I don't know why, but it seems less than some.

How much did you loose in the first month?

I had RNY on 1.19 and am only down 32. I think you're doing great!

Hi jenn1376, I think you are doing great! I started off at about the same weight as you, but I had surgery in December and have only lost about 40 pounds. Much less than many others here and les than most of those in my support group. I am older than many others so maybe that is why I am losing more slowly.

Just keep working at it and I am sure you will do great!

Thank you both for the support. Now if I can only kick the insomnia. :-/

jenn1376, hope you sleep well tonight. Just remember to keep a positive outlook and make every day the best it can be. Keep working toward your goal and know that you will make it!

You should feel great about that amount of weight lost. I am 3 weeks post op, and have lost 18 lbs. and I'm celebrating each pound - I have never lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks! Every person is different, and I am learning to love myself and the new body I am slowly getting!! Good luck to you! ????

Thank you all for the support.

I have lost 42 pounds so far and I can really tell the difference in my clothing. None of it fits anymore. So to celebrate. I'm going to buy new jeans from the women's section not the plus size for the first time in 17 years!

Congrats jenn! Have fun shopping!

I had surgery October 13, 2014 and I had lost 23 pounds on my own from May 2014 to October 2014 but since my surgery I've lost 55 pounds they give me a grand total of 78 not as much as other people in my group not as much is one of the others who had surgery on the same day as me she's already in the 100s. Well I'm lingering in the 220s but it's still better than the 300 I was that in the beginning. My diabetes is gone as well so that's a plus.

I had my surgery March 26 and I'm down 30lbs I was thinking I wasn't looking enough but my Dr told me I was right on track

Typo loosing

Hahaha enjoy the honeymoon, wait a year and you will praise the Lord for 3.6 pounds in a month! You are doing excellent, can you believe you lost 36 pounds in a month??? Have you ever lost that much before you had surgery? you see...?
