I had my surgery March 5, 2002

Hi! I am over a year post-op and I have lost 120 pounds so far! I still have more to lose but I think I've hit a plateau. It's depressing. I think i need to get back to the basics. Is anyone else feeling the same way? Jodi

I had LAP RNY surgery on March 4, 2002, and I ahve lost 84 pounds. I would like to lose another 20, but I have not been doing as much exercise as I used to. The three of us should band together to meet our goals! Sounds like our old habits are coming back to haunt us!!

I had my surgery 3/22/02. I have lost maybe a total of 10lbs in the last 3 months. That has been a struggle for me. It is frustrating because though I have lost 130lbs, I need to lose another 50. I keep telling myself I didn't put on all that weight In a year I can't expect it to fly off that fast either. I neeeeed to get on my treadmill again also. Keep up the good work. Sometimes I think we sit in the present and don't look at what we have already accomplished.

I had my surgery on March 12, 2002. I have lost a total of 134 pounds and would love to lose about 15 more pounds. I am at a plateau. I know that walking and exercise will do the trick. I hardly drink water and I know tha****er will help a lot I am really trying to drink more water. I exercise and walk but not everyday. I intend not to let this weight creep back on me. When I see a weight gain, I will cut back drastically and sometimes I will fast for a few days. Jackie

I had surgery March 8, 2002 and have lost 160 lbs. I have been going up and down and think maybe its just that we are able to eat a little more, maybe add more exercise into your daily life. Good Luck

My open RNY was March 5, 2002. I am down 152 pounds. I was stuck at 135 lbs down for 4 months. In the past 6 weeks I have lost 17 lbs. The answer was excercise. Not only did it curb my appetite, but it burns the calories I do intake. 3 to 5 trips to the health club a week usually at lunch time helps. One other benefit is the stress is gone when I get back to the office. I know that you may not have the flexibility to go at lunch time but whenever you can get exercise it helps. I didn't think I needed it but now am convinced it is part of the total solution. Good luck and keep working at it.
