Alta Topic: RE: 14 weeks today and down 133 lbs. Too fast???????????
14 weeks for me Tuesday, I down 67 lbs. So far I feel fine, Hope your feeling ok. If you are still worried, maybe calling your doc or nurse will help you feel better since they could give some advice. Hang in there.

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! It always makes you feel good when the scale moves...I also had surgery on the 30th and sometimes I feel my true self will never come out. I will just take one day at a time and hope I will be at my goal by thanksgiving. (200) I know we can all do this, with alittle help from above and the great tool God has given to me and you. Good Luck.

Topic: RE: plateau already??? 4 months out
Hi Arlene, I too had my surgery on june 8th.
And I too have been at a standstill for about 3 weeks. 
perhaps it is a mini plateau?? I don't know. I do know that I seem to be loosing inches but, that darn weight still say's the same old thing. I am down 55 lbs from my start weight of 260. My doctor say's I'm right on track. I went yesterday.
I'm taking my vitamins, I'm exercising and I'm staying away from most carbs. I only eat things like pretzels, and popcorn occasionally. I really haven't eaten breads or potatoes or rice for those are my danger foods. I used to eat WAY too much of them. So my point being, If we're doing everything we're suppose to do and we are at a stand still it's probably our bodies adjusting? What do you think?? My best~ Mary

hello everyone My name is Arlene. I had my surgery on June 8th 2004. I had an open RNY with a fobio pouch. So I am almost 4 months out. I have lost 75 lbs in that time. My question is this - I have not lost any weight in 3wks. I weight 210.5 lbs I go up or down 1 pd. Why haven't I lost any weight in 3 wks??? I know that you do hit plateau later on like around 1yr to 1 1/2 yr out but 4months?????? But I have to say also that I started to work out too in that 3wks time, I work out 3x a week. So does that have to do something with it??? fat turning into muscle -- heavier??? My starting weight was 285. I am doing good I know but I am worry that is this ALL that I am going to lose. Thanks so much for your answers and for this Forum!!! Arlene
