Before s RNY surgery, I was 291 lbs. It took almost a year before I had my surgery

and by my surgery date, I had lost 75 lbs. My surgery was on March 17th, '09 and I have only lost 23 lbs since then. My surgeon says I won't lose much more because I'm already below 200 lbs. But, I don't understand why - my stomach doesn't know that I lost so much before surgery, and I still have 50 lbs to go. Has anyone else lost a lot of weight prior to surgery and now aren't losing...I eat around 5-600 calories a day, and I am worried-I'm only averaging a pound a week right now. I'd love to hear from others who might be experiencing something similar. What if I start eating 1000 calories a day...will I start gaining weight? Christina57
