Females over 40, how "fast' did you lose with RNY?



Recommended Posts

Definitely interested in this thread. My rny is next week and I've also wondered about how fast you lose. I started at 330 (highest was 376 years ago) three weeks ago. I'm at 310 now so 20 lbs down on liquid diet. I'm also 42 and about 5'3" tall. I worry about loose skin simply because I already have some. But I worry more about not ever being able to do things I want to do.

Hi! I am a 54 year old female and I had my bypass in April of 2019. I started at 224 and I weighed 150 by October. I’m down to 141 now because I increased calorie intake and weight loss slowed down. Which in fact I like, it’s giving my brain time to “catch up” to my weight loss. Good luck on your journey!

Hi! I’m 46, female and 5’ 4”. Like the OP, I also have PCOS. 
RNY Bypass Surgery: 4/12/19
Highest weight: 278
Surgery weight: 263
Current weight: 168
Goal weight: 135 but I’d be pretty happy with 145.

Best of luck with your surgery. My only regret these days is that I wish that I would have done this sooner!

Great topic-thanks! I go in on 2/14/20 for my Bypass and heading to Mexico-Dr Juan Lopez Corvala. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. I am starting about 298 and 5"5.5 so I am anxious to see some of this weight off before I turn 50 in August. Keep the comments coming-great motivation for us!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
