Hello! I also had my RNY on July 18th!!! I too was stuck at a plateau 2 WEEKS after surgery. My plateau lasted almost 2 weeks. I was furious. I thought that I had went through all of this and I wasn't even going to lose more than 20 pounds. After the plateau was over I started losing again. Are you exercising?? Maybe you should try to step up a notch on that. Anyway, good luck! Congrats on losing 30 pounds!!! Leslie

I guess just because I'm not using protein supplements doesn't mean that I'm not getting protein. I eat cheese, egg whites, peanut butter, etc. I started looking at the things that I eat and the amount of protein in them, so I am probably getting a decent amount. I guess that's why my surgeon has me eating stuff like that!

Thanks

I had surgery on 7/18 and so far I have lost 30lbs. I was STUCK at 28lbs for 4 weeks, and wanted to throw the scale out of the window. I have lost 54inches and my clothes are all loose, but I am getting very frustrated at the plateau so early on. I don't think I was eating enough or getting enough calories, so I have tried to eat more (which is hard since I am never hungry). Has this happened to any of you and if so what did you do to 'jump start' the weight loss again? My Dr. told me to try to eat more as my body thinks it is starving and is holding on to the weight. I never thought I would say this, but since I am never hungry, food almost repulses me and nothing sounds good. Any ideas???

WOW, you guys are doing great! I don't exercise at all yet. I want to, but I'd rather take a nap when I get a moment to myself. I need to get my butt in gear and start walking. My surgeon told me the difference between really succeeding at this, and just doing ok, is exercise. He wants me to succeed and said he worries about me. I need to get in gear!
