Question:
Is there anyone out ther who has had weight loss like mine and reached goal

I had an open RNY on 12-12-01 , started out at 377 5ft 3in and am now 263. I want so bad to get under 200. But the weight loss has really slowed and my appitite has really increased. C an I still get ther? Is ther anyone who has similar stats like mine and reached ther goal?    — Joyce C. (posted on September 25, 2002)

I had open rny on 3/6/02. My beginning weight was 337 1/2 and I'm down to 231. I was doing really great until this month. I've only lost about 4 lbs. this month. I'm hoping it's just a plateau thing, but I worry too. I've noticed that I want to eat more now also. I never feel full or uncomfortable when I eat. Now it's more that I just have to keep an eye on what I put in my mouth and keep busy.

Hon, I think you are doing so wonderful, everyone experiences these plateaus sometime during their weight loss. I have them every week lol........seriously thoough I am a slow loser but still losing as long as we keep losing even at a slow pace, we are still making progress. I started out at 273 (the morning of surgery) now I am fluctuating between 169-170. I never even though I would get below 200 then it happend, then I thought I would never get below 185 and it happend, then I was thinking there is no way I will ever get below 175 and it happend, now I am thinking hmm, will I get below 170, well eventually I will, just have to be patient and do my part in this, and it will happen, just as it will happen for you. Good luck!

Joyce, DON"T GIVE UP YET! you are not even a year post op and we have up to 18 months or so to lose, so I'm sure you will still keep losing, just slower. How is your exercise? One morning you will wake up and be under 200 and go...When did this happen ;) Good Luck!
