Slow weight loss
I had my RNY in May of this year. I had lost 59 pounds prior to surgery, but since surgery have only managed to lose 48 pounds. It is very discouraging, thought it would go much faster than this. I did have some ulcers at the beginning and also had Roux syndrome. Has anyone else had slow weight loss? I am now 44 pounds from goal, but it seems I only lose about 2-3 pounds a month. It is discouraging. Also, I can eat almost anything, just not much, days vary, but I have never had dumping syndrome - which I thought might help. I am scared if the weight loss is so slow, will I start regaining at some point. Thanks for any suggestions.
The weight loss will slow down a bit. Keep doing what you know is right. I am 2 years out and want to lose 20 more pounds. It has been hard to lose these last few pounds. I have lost 135 thus far. I have maintained well over the last 2 years.
Suggest that you up your exercise program. Increase resistance and the amout of time you are exercising. I am trying that for 2 months. So far I have lost 2 pounds, so now I need to lose 18 more.
Good luck,
