Hey RNY guys....

What was your weight loss at 6mos and a year?

Thanks,
Bill

I'll give you my numbers but I don't know what you're trying to figure out.  Everyone responds differently and you'll see a wide range.  That being said:

Starting weight - 305
6 months post surgery - 207.4 (97.6 pounds lost)
12 months post surgery - 178.4 (126.6 pounds lost)

My starting weight of 305 was the day I started the preop liquid diet.  I had crash dieted with Atkins the month prior to that to get to 305 from 320, which was my all time high.

Depends on where you start...If you are over 350 it comes off real fast.  Men lose it faster than women (bigger muscle structure).  For me...Day of surgery 282#...in 6 months and 10 days I hit my goal of 190#.  It happens fast!!

I'm a lightweight - started at 263 8/19/08. 2/18/09 I was 199 (64 lbs gone) and just had a one year am 187 (76 lbs gone) - 2 lbs to target. Everyone loses differently. The trick is to keep it moving and stay on track. Eat right, exercise, and keep focused.

All time high:  331
Surgery:  321
3.5 mo - 221 (100 lbs gone)
6 mo - 205 (116 lbs gone)
1 yr - 173 (Dr. scales 158 lbs gone)
16 mos - still flirting around the 170 pound mark.  Dipped to 167 at the end of July but I have picked back up a few pounds.  Grazing too much.

I'm just now coming up on 6 months and I have lost 140 pounds . It's been up and down but I'm super happy.

I hope at a year I will be as happy.

surgery, around 300
6 mos,  195
1 year 175
