Realistic weight loss 6 yrs after RNY
I can lose 1-2 pounds a week when I am strict with my eating (low carbs, cutting back around 500 calories a day). I gained 7 pounds over the holidays. It took me 4-5 weeks to lose it.

It took me app 4-6 months to lose for good and maintain my last 5-6 lbs of regain. I would get to my goal...and then 3 days later the scale would go up. Or a week later.. I aimed for my goal - 3 lbs... So when my weight fluctuate daily I am within my goal range.
The body gets comfortable at some number - and losing that and resetting the body weight point - may take a while.
Last 2 months just following my daily routine I easily maintain my current weight.. (i don't have to measure and log my food...)
