did and she is your height and weighed around the same, we still keep in
touch and so far she is 4 mths. post -op and has lost around 70 lbs. so it

I started out 5'3" and 243. At 6 weeks, I had lost 30 lbs., at 3
months: 46 lbs, at 6 months: 65 lbs., and now at 8 months, I have lost 80
lbs. It is slower for us "lightweights" (don't you just love
that word), but it does all come off in the end. open rny proximal, Sept.

My weight the day of surgery 01/28/03 was 245 lbs. At 10 weeks I had lost
53 lbs and now at 16 weeks I am down 76 lbs. I have been exercising an
hour a day since I was 2 weeks post-op and I really do think that is the
main reason I have lost so fast.

Hi! We're almost alike :). I'm 5'2", and I've lost 105lbs. I guess I'm
still a "lightweight". You can check out my profile if you'd
like.

I'm 5 foot tall and weighed 220 lbs as of March 31st (day of surgery).
It's been 8 weeks as of yesterday and I have lost 35 lbs. I think that is
pretty similar to your stats. I am losing very slow...the majority of what
I've lost was at the very beginning. I used to be one of those people who
gained 5-10 lbs right before her period; however I would never lose it once
I started. So, I would have to diet right after my period just to lose the
extra 5-10 lbs I had gained. I've noticed recently, that I no longer gain
the 5-10 lbs before my period, but I also do not lose any weight during the
entire time. I'll probably be right where you are at when I'm 10 weeks
out. I wish you much luck and happiness. Smile...you are doing
great...losing slower puts less stress on your heart. Don't get me wrong,
I would also love to lose my weight quicker (wink), but I'll just be happy
that I am losing and not gaining. (hugs)
