I'm 38, I had my surgery 6/12/17, 5 days after my birthday. I'm only down 46 pounds since surgery. I feel like I'm failing at this.

Hi there! I'm 12 weeks post op RNY, and I'd loved a Bari-Buddy! I have my best friend who I walk with, but she doesn't understand the struggles of having had this surgery. I've been in a stall for 3 weeks, ever since I started exercising more. It's become very frustrating. Today when I weighed, I only weigh on Mondays, I actually gained. I'm so sad that I'm failing at this. I'm on Facebook as Jennie Homer - Smith. Feel free to friend me.

I'm 12 weeks out from RNY Gastric Bypass, and I've been in a stall for 3 weeks now. I had consistently been averaging 5 pounds lost a week, until 3 weeks ago. Then it dropped to 2 pounds, now today I weigh myself, I only weigh in Monday's, and I've gained almost a pound back. I'm so frustrated, and afraid I'm going to fail at this, and it looks like I am. I recently started exercising more, and that makes this weight loss stall even more frustrating. I am doing an hour of water aerobics or an hour of walking, approx. 3 miles, 3 days a week. I participated in my first 5k last weekend. I don't know what in doing wrong. If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears! Please help me!

I'm going through the steps needed for my insurance to be approved for Gastric Bypass, however; I am not having 2nd thoughts about having the surgery. I need to know if this is normal?? I am worried about how much my life is going to change, how much my body is going to change. I have been overweight since I was a child, about 3rd grade, so I have no idea what it's like to be skinny. I worry about how my husband will react/feel about my new body. Will he still love me/be attracted to me? Can anyone tell me if these worries and 2nd thoughts are normal prior to surgery?

I am going through the steps required by my insurance company prior to having gastric bypass surgery. I would like to find a mentor in the Kansas City Area. I am a 37 yr old female, however; age, sex, race make no difference to me in my mentor. I would like someone local, that I can text with when I have questions, or need help. Thank you for reading, have a great day!!
