So my only dilemma, which is truly a double entendre, is that I feel as though I have lost weight way too fast. I started at 304 lbs and in less than three months, I am already down 68 lbs, now at 236 lbs. 68!!! Which is so awesome, but very scary.

Doesn't sound too fast to me. You are exercising daily, like I am and that's surely helping. I'm 5 months post op and am down 141 pounds. (Started at 470)

I'm eight weeks out as of today, and I've lost almost 45 pounds. I haven't really had any stalls and I'm not going to be very happy when I do! I haven't started exercising yet because my blood pressure is pretty low and when I exert myself at all, I get very dizzy. I'm trying to drink more fluids but I have a very hard time getting in 64 ounces. In fact, I don't even get close to that in a day. My Protein intake is low as well. I'm not trying to not eat and drink, I just do as much as I can.

Hi, I had my RNY on July 2, 2013. In 6 months I went to my lowest weight of 117#'s. I averaged 20#'s per month. I started out at 249#'s (this time because I managed to lose down from 285#'s). I had 1 stall I guess that was what you would call it. I weighed in the morning and it said I was up 3#'s!! I thought what the hell!! But the next day I was down 4#'s. I had the 8# gain up to 125#'s and have maintained that weight for 3 years. My health is pretty darn great. I use to take 12 different medications. Insulin 2 times a day with 2 500mg of Metformin 2 times a day. I now take 4 precriptions with 3 being for my Blood Pressure and 1 for my thyroid. I am able to walk 4 miles 3 to 4 times a week. Hubby (who also had WLS June 2016) are joining a Health Club in May!!! I am realy excited about this one because hubby has never had any interest in exercising!! Good Luck with your journey. You are kickin your wt to the curb!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!
