7 weeks post up and I'm down 36 lbs. Feeling much better and definitely more active because I'm not as out of breath as you used to be. I just have to thank all of you because this space gives me such inspiration though I may not respond to everything' date=' I do read it daily and it definitely helps me work through all the changes going on physically and mentally.[/quote']

Congrats on your weight loss

Thank you Krystal

I love watching the scale go down because without this surgery I would still be big

My surgery was 4/29/13' date=' and I am only down 18 lbs. The scale is just not moving. Went to bariatric support meeting tonight. Talked to nutritionist a bit. She said I am doing everything right, and to hang in there, the weight will eventually come off. She said because I had 5 surgeries that day of my RNY, I may still be healing. She also said by 8 weeks most patients typically lose 30-40 lbs. Well, I am 6.5 weeks out and still at 18 lbs. I feel discouraged but am trying to have a positive attitude.[/quote']

I'm sorry your dealing with that she's prob right its because your insides have so much to heel from

Hey all! Hope everyone is well. Been a crazy week. Threw up twice' date=' both this week, but I guess that isn't that bad since I am 7 weeks out and was doing great. I ha e only lost a total of 31.5 lbs since surgery. My highest weight was 391, and I am at 317 now. All this weight lose happened since February! I can't believe it!!! Finally had to break down and buy a few clothes to get me to the next stage. Oh, and I went for a walk and felt so good that I actually started to jog for almost a mile. That is a major accomplishment for me!! It was 114 degrees when I went though but the whole ability to do it was awesome![/quote']

Fantastic. Feels good to have extra energy doesnt it.

What size scrubs do you need? I have some 2x if that helps.

Yikes! I am 10 weeks post-op and my hair just started coming out. :-( I was hoping I would be one of the lucky ones and not have the Hair loss. I started taking all my Vitamins plus Biotin 2 weeks before surgery in the hopes of keeping it all. Guess there is no way around this. :-(

[MrsLulu 69]

I have been experiencing that too! You are not alone. I am hoping it stops soon. Ugh!!!

I went for a check up yesterday and I'm down 44lbs YAY!!! I Also met with a diff dietician yesterday than I've been seeing and a diff dr ( just because of scheduling) I've seen them both in the past before rny.....wellllll they both told me that the other dietician was being TOO strict and gave me a ton more food options they told me that I was supposed to start raw veggies salads and fruit 2 weeks ago...I was so mad especially when I found out the other dietician put her notes that she told me my new foods I was allowed
