I will be having the bypass on 6/19/2018 and was just curious on how much others had lost or is losing monthly?

Thanks and Happy Losing!!

This is highly variable based upon how much excess weight you have, your age, your past medical history, etc.

You can drive yourself crazy comparing your weight loss to someone else’s. Many people can lose 30 pounds the first month with 20 pounds the next two or three months. Some people have lost 100 pounds in three months.

It’s such an individual thing. Even medication can play a role in how much wright we lose, or if we are post menopausal.

Do your very best, and you will be more than thrilled I am sure!

My RNY gastric bypass is scheduled for June 14, 2018. I started at a 40 BMI six months ago, and now am at 38. I’m not supposed to go below a 35 BMI prior to surgery.

I had bypass 8 months ago. I lost 100lbs so far. My first month I lost over 30lbs. Second month 20lbs and third month I started averaging about 15lbs per month- but then after 5-6months it seems to keep slowing down at about 7-10 per month. I started at 250- and now I’m at 148... so I only need to lose about 20lbs more or less- and perhaps that’s why it’s slowed down. I also don’t get in enough nutrients as I have a stricture and can’t digest most real food. Animal meats and products and most anything really.. so.. yeah. But my body did let go faster than a lot that I’ve spoke too, and I haven’t truly plateaued ... I feel lucky. It’s a very rough long road.
