Any 8/12/04 surgery dates?

I am down 22 pounds and feel like I have reached a plateau. Since my 2 week follow-up appt I have only lost another 2 pounds..Is that normal? Because I am trying not to freak out.... Please share your stories.. Thanks

I had an open RNY on Aug 12. I've lost a total of 44 lbs so far. If I were you I'd check with your doctor. Seems like you should have lost more than two lbs in that time.

Aida: The first two weeks I lost 28 pounds. The third week 6 came back and the fourth week I lost nothing. Then suddenly the 6 fell off and I started losing again. It shouldn't be anything to worry about as long as you are following what you are supposed to be doing. It's really common for people to plateau around the third week. Patty

Aida, I have lost 40 lbs and 21.5 inches. I am now at a plateau. I understand this is normal and to be expected. Just stay on the program, and it should regain. Denise

I am down 51 pounds ....just make sure to get in your protein and drink lots of water, other than that, walk as much as possible. Linda

I am down about 37lbs. I havent seen the scale move for over 2 weeks. I am not doing anything I shouldnt do. I am getting in my protein, water & exercise, but nothing. Try not to freak out. You are not alone. I am sure this is normal, and we will start losing again real soon. There is no way we went thru all this and we are not going to lose any more weight. I just wont believe it. So hang in there, and report in again soon so we can all compare notes. Sue

I had Open RNY. On my two week follow up I was at 24 pounds lost. Now I think I am somewhere around 46. Last week though, I was on a bit of a plateau. I do think getting enough protein helps, although I have a hard time drinking enough water.
