September Friends: how goes your weight loss?

Hi! I had my RNY on 9/22. HW: 268, CW: 208 Goal Weight: 165 5'10

Just wondering how your weight loss journey is going. I don't remember how much weight I lost before surgery, but I think I've lost 55 pounds since surgery. I've had a few stalls that lasted a month, lost some more, stalled some more. To be honest I wasn't sticking to the rules. Now that I am tracking, measuring, exercising, I'm losing again. I'd love to hear how you are all doing.

Hi there!

I had my RNY on 9/2. HW: 242, CW: 173 Goal Weight: 145 5'3. I'm approaching the 70 pound mark and I couldn't be happier. I've had very few problems with the exception of some Constipation (mineral oil has taken care of that) and I am noticing some hair loss but my hair is very short anyway, so no big deal.

My weight loss is very slow now but my NUT and surgeon told me to expect that since I was getting close to goal.

Your stats look great!
