Introduction

Hi Everyone, I've been reading this forum for about three days now. I am so glad that I have found you. I had RNY surgery with Dr. Carl Pesta in Warren, Mi on Aug. 3rd. I weighed in at 284. I have lost 55 pounds so far. I lost 40 pounds in the first six weeks. I had heart palpatations and back and knee pain. My back still hurts from time to time, but my palpatations and knees are soo much better since surgery. I'm a little scared now because I have stopped losing. I haven't lost a pound since October. I thought that the weight would come off quicker, but I'm not giving up. I've read some of the stall stories and hopefully I will start moving soon. Thank God I found you. Good Luck

Welcome. I just posted. I have not lost anything in five weeks. I am beginning to panic.

Welcome to the board Toya. I am new here too. Everyone has been very friendly and supportive so far. I hope that your plateau breaks soon! Katie 359/288/199?

Toya, Welcome, everyone here is great. 55 lbs is great. Stay positive. As long as you continue to follow your Dr's plan, your body will catch up & the weight will come off. You may want to contact your nutritionist, they could probably give you some suggestions. Keep your chin up... We're here for you. Tammy 291/284 day of surgery/222/145
