Lap RNY Sept 13, 2005 Starting weight: 269 lbs Current weight: 213.4 lbs Loss to date: 55.5 lbs Inches lost to date: 44 I'm doing well, sometimes frustrated when things are slower than I would like them to be. I think I have hit my first plateau this week ... it sucks .. the scale hasn't moved most of the week. Will look forward to the shrink that will follow (I hope!). Marianne

Hi All, Open RNY 9/28/05 Height: 5'8" Starting weight: 330 Current: 266 Loss to date: 64 The losing seems to be slow, but it is coming off and I'm getting into smaller clothes. I think we're all doing a GREAT job! Paula

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am on a stall (I think anyway ) I too know this is normal but it is just sooooooo frustrating Lap RNY 9/9/05 Starting weight: 300 Current: 242 Loss to date: 58 lbs I haven't lost anything at all this week...not even an ounce hugsssssssss...Linda

Lap RNY 9/19/05 Pre-Op 450 Surgery 427 Current 350 Loss to date: 100lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loss since surgery 77lbs But I feel a stall coming on. Last week was my lowest loss to date.

Last week was my lowest also. I have been stalling for 2 weeks. Im upset. I guess that is how it goes. I feel like I am doing something wrong. I think I am now a slow loser. I have upped excercise and protein and water. I think this is going to happen requardless. I dont think it is healthy to keep losing and not stop and breath awhile. I hope the stall ends. I wanted to be around 200 at christmas. I am down 52 pounds. Im missing my mark by 20 pounds. There is nothing else I can do. Happy holidays Barb

If it makes you feel any better, Ann Dee, you're outstripping everyone else in my data group. You've lost well above the average of 16.9%... you're at 21%. And you've lost well above the average weekly loss (5.2 pounds/week verses 4.2 pounds/week average) So I don't think you're now a slow loser, I think you're just about right. BUT I also know how it feels to slow down. I wanted to be 100lbs down by christmas. I'm 23lbs from that goal. It was probably unrealistic, but there you have it. I'm at 77lbs since surgery. But I'm at 100lbs down since my highest recorded weight in Feburary of last year. With is over 4 times more than my daughter, born in Feburary, currently weighs!

Thanks Mike, I hope my weight continues to go away. Very fustrating But I need to be thankful for what I have lost Thanks for the numbers and encoragement Barb
