had my surgery june 24th at st.vincents went from 220 to 185 and from an 18 couldn't get snaped to a 14 lose so far its my 6-7th wk and i am starting to slow down and i think my hair is breaking off is that what they mean by loseing it i can't eat hurts when i eat and drink sometimes i throw up can't go to the bathroom either and my back is killing me from that rib spreader they used had roux-en-y gastric bypass i'd do it all over though its worth going from 30 meds a day to 0 any suggestions on the eating thing ;angel;

Don't worry, you will start losing again. I hit my first plateau a couple of weeks ago and the scale didn't move...then, all of the sudden it started going down again. Of course, I have tried to increase my activities and joined Curves, so i'm working out 30 mins a day 3 x a week. They say when you hit a plateau that you should increase your protein intake to boost up your metabolism. I haven't tried it yet, it's all I can do to get my 60 grams in per day now. Good luck...there are brighter days ahead!
