Lori, I am out 14 days this Wednesday(8/27) and I am down 17 1/2 pounds. I also wondered if it is the right amount of weight lost. I see my physicians tomorrow. Staples come out and I get officailly weigh-in. One day last week I felt as if I was cheating on what I was eating. I felt quilty. Take care.

Hi Michelle
I can't believe this. I too had surgery on 8/11 and have lost 26 lbs. I'm doing great so far. I don't have any problems with food either. I have little twinges of pain every now and then but not from eating. I had laparscopic RNY. I started at 302 lbs., I'm 5'8" tall and I'm 52 years old. So far so good.

Hi Maridon
First of all welcome to the other side! Everybodys weight loss is different. My Dr. told me that the larger you are the quicker you will lose. My average weight loss has been about 20 lbs. per month.At the beginning it is quicker and then it slows as time goes on. I am about 17 weeks post op and I have lost around 70 lbs. I hope this has been of some help.Best of luck to you!!!
