Hi Kristy! We seem to be on the same schedule...I am also down 78 lbs since 9/29 (open RNY) and was wondering the same! Thanks for the posting!

I am down 111 lbs. down. My surgery was 9/12. It will be 24 weeks on 2/27. I am really worried because now I am at the weight I was when I'd lost 100 lbs. 3 years ago and I never got lower than this. I know it's a lot of psychological issues with this fear but I can't help feeling it. I work out 4-5x a week before work, go to a ball class 1x a week after work and occassionally do an ab class after work.... I am working out like a fiend and yet still this fear persists that I will not lose any more than what I have. Part of that fear is that I've been stuck in this same 10 lbs. realm for over a month. I HATE plateaus. Also, I am finding I can eat more which is waaaay scary. It's like the free pass of eating tiny amounts of whatever was tolerated is over because the tiny amounts are converting into bigger amounts which means now I have to watch what I eat and actually start changing my eating habits that I intellectually knew I had to do but hadn't yet needed to do it. I've not dumped and I find I can eat fried foods and my downfall CHIPS (all kinds) and I am apparently able to tolerate small candies since i ate them and didn't get sick... so that's all kinds of scary. I have to now put the reins on myself and I just hope that I can... that's not to say that I'm eating like crazy but the potential to do so as my stomach gets naturally bigger ... well... the potential's there. So, here's my stats: b-day: Sept. 22nd, 30 yrs. old height: 5'11" (six foot with heels) weight: pre-op: 350 currently: 239 goal: 180 (at least) Inches lost: 61

WELOME MARY i had my surgery 9/17/03 and am 277 down from 360. I have always felt like I eat more than most. I can eat about 1 cup of pototaes & 2 fried eggs. or 2 cuops of pasta. I can also eat sugar. UGH basically I can eat anything just smaller protions. I am starting to get worried about my sugar intake because my old cravings are coming back

Hi Mary!! Congratulations! I am down 76 lbs and happy. I was worried as well about my weight loss being too slow, but with my physcian's help I do not worry about that as much. I too like you feel sometimes that I am eating too much. I have days that I can eat much better than others and some days I can not eat much at all. But everything is getting better every day.
