Default Hello everyone!
Hello, I am new to this forum and looking for others who have been where I am now.

I am 6 weeks post surgery on Monday, May 12th, and I have lost so far 61 lbs. I started at 349, am now at 288. I have been amazed at the results so far. I know soon here things really slow down, but I look forward to keeping up the weight loss.

I had the RNY procedure done. I have been walking a mile everyday so far for the last 2 weeks. I am hoping to increase it a bit this week.

How does this compare to what others have experienced? Is this normal? Am I going too slow? Too fast?

Would love to hear from people!

Wendy

Everyone loses differently depending on several factors. But just keep on keeping on. You are making amazing progress.

That is an awesome amount of weight loss for such a short period of time - you are obviously really working it girl!

Congratulations on all your hard work paying off!
