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
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.
