Congrats so far to those that have posted and those that will post!
I am down 111 lbs as of today. I started at 374 and am now 262. I am in sort of a stall and hope it will go away soon!
I am very happy with my surgery. I started at 287 pounds and now I weigh 212. My surgery date was 9/1/02 so I've lost 75 in just a little over 5 months. The only thing that's bothering me is that my hair is starting to fall out more than usual. I love my hair so this is really upsetting me. I'm not losing big patches (thank God!) but I'm getting a lot in my comb every morning. Anyone who has any tips on how to keep this from happening (maybe it's too late!) or any words of encouragement (like maybe it will come back!) I would greatly appreciate it.

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.
Hello, I had RNY on Sep 25, 2009 and am doing well. I've had no complications so far other than some mood swings. I started feeling more "normal" and having more energy around the 6wk post-op mark. My weight loss has been great so far, 65 lbs to date. I started at 247 and am now teetering around 182. I've also hit a couple stalls as stated in a few other peoples posts, must be our bodies way of trying to play catch up with the fast weight loss. I get some type of exercise in daily for 30 minutes.
Am definitely past the buyers remorse stage!!! Enjoying the everchanging new me : )
