When did your surgery "kick in?"
CindyWinFlorida replied to MisforMimi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am so glad to hear that your loss kicked in at 6 months. I am 5 1/2 months and have lost a total of 57lbs since the day of surgery. I've lost 13 since my 3 month check up. I am so discouraged and depressed about this. I have continued to eat right and exercise. I am a post menopausal 51 year old woman who was HOPING to lose my 50% by my 6 month check up. This Friday I have that appointment and I will be at 42% of my excess weight. I find myself crying almost daily obsessing about reading this board and other boards looking for other people who have not done well so I can at least "explain" why this has happened. Please dont misunderstand - I am thankful for the loss just really stumped as to why its been so slow - especially the last 2 1/2 months. My daughter also had RNY and lost 120 lbs in the first 9 months. Happpy happppppy for her - was hoping I could have good results too. I am dreading my appointment on Friday because I dont want the surgeon or nutritionist to think I am not eating right or exercising. You see, I worry about silly things but I hope and pray that my weight loss will kick in like that SOON..... best of luck to you! Keep up the great work. -

Thanks, James. I only drink one Protein shake a day and I do count it in my overall calories for the day. Thanks for your reply. -
5 1/2 months out - BIG STALL..... help please!
CindyWinFlorida posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hello, I am 5 1/2 months out. Started at 270 on Surgery date. I've lost to 215. My 3 month check up was May 18 and I had lost 44 lbs then. So, in 2 1/2 months I've only lost 11 lbs. My doctor expects me to have lost a total of 68 lbs when I return on Aug 14th. I am 13 lbs away from that. I do Water aerobics 2x a week and go to the gym or walk or Richard Simmons light aerobics 1x a week. I am getting all my water and Protein and about 1000 - 1100 calories per day. I had RNY on 2/16 and was slow even the first few months. I am worried that no matter what I do, I am not going to lose much more weight which terrifies me. Any advice on how to jump start this is appreciated. I always eat protein first then good veggies. I will each a few of the baked lays occasionally but i always count that in my food calories for the day. I do eat fruit, almost daily but if I dont I have a horrible time going to the bathroom. Thanks in advance. -
Common Plateau at 4 months?
CindyWinFlorida replied to CindyWinFlorida's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks, James. I am already down to 1 shake a day - I will drink 2, if my Protein intake for the day is not where it should be. When you hit your plateau mid way through, how long did it last? Thanks! -

Hi everyone, I am 51 and struggling a little bit. I started at 270# on surgery date and am down to 220# today. My surgery was on 2/16/15 and I had RNY. I've had no complications and exercise 2-3 times a week. I get my protein and water in every day but my weight loss has been slow all along but extremely slow the last month - I've lost 6 lbs since May 20th. THATS IT! I am getting about 1000-1100 calories a day. Is the 4 month mark a common time for a serious plateau? how long does it typically last? I want to loose another 60-70 pounds but I am worried that I wont. Thanks for all your advice, reassurance and help!

The scale is not moving!
CindyWinFlorida replied to jencooper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
jencooper we are twins! I am 4 weeks post RNY - lost 20 lbs by the 2nd week but nothing since and I am 4 weeks out as of yesterday. Its really frustrating. I just hope when the body releases the weight it releases 10 lbs at a time. How long does this "stall" typically last? Isnt this too soon to stall?
