September 2009
Hello All,
I'm interested in speaking with people who had surgery in September 2009. My surgery date was 9/9/09 and I have lost 60 pounds so far. I've been at a plateau for about 3-4 weeks now and I'm interested in finding out if anyone else 4 months out has too and if so, how they got over it.
Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello there!
I noticed a stall when I lost about 24lbs, 44lbs, and now 60lbs and they last for about 2-3 weeks for me. I told my husband it looks like I am losing about 11-15lbs a month and I still haven't taken my measurements which I know are moving as well. So the weeks the scale doesn't move my waist line is so I am not worried. I am not particularly worried about how fast I lose the weight because I know that it is going to go sooner than later and that maybe my excess skin won't be so noticeable.
From past posts that I have read on here they say you can break a stall by changing up your diet ie more protein and maybe more exercise which I haven't done neither but it does seem to work for the others on here. Let me take that back I have noticed the scales move more when I do get more protein in.
Good luck and try not to beat yourself up when you hit a stall......

Thank you so much for replying. I've increased my protein for the past couple of days just from reading the blogs so I hope to see a change soon. The inches are definately falling off. I was able to fit a pair of size 11 jeans that would not button two weeks ago so something is working. I work out 5 days a week / 3 days with a trainer.
I'm going to try to incorporate more water into my regimine too. It's nice to meet someone who had surgery around the same time as me. I will let you know when I make it over this hurdle. Thanks for your support.

Hi,
I had RNY 9/25 so i'm a couple weeks behind you. I hit my first plateau about a month ago. It lasted for 2 weeks and then boom, I dropped 5 lbs in a matter of days. Now I've hit another just 2 weeks later. Everyone that has gone through WLS says not to worry. We are losing inches, so I try to take that to heart. I was also advised to take measurements, since even though the scale may not be moving, we are still losing inches.
Just have faith in the process.
