16 mnths and the honeymoon is over

[Patricia R Gordon 0]

I'm 16 mnths post RNY and I've been sitting at the same weight since 13 months post op. I found out last week after feeling like crap that my 1yr labs were off and I was mildly anemic,I was told my labs were ok but it seems they were looking at old labs. So when I went in feeling bad and wanting to eat everything I saw (they said PICA) that chances are I'm really really anemic now and they started me on Hemoctye prescription till the new lab comes in. I really want to reach my goal weight by my birthday in March it's 125lbs and I'm at 133. I was told to take it easy till I got my levels of Iron and D3 back up. Is there anything I can do to maybe kick start my body again?

Congratulations on achieving a 117 pound weight loss. I am 21 months post-op from RNY surgery. My body found its natural weight level. When I hit bottom, my weight loss stopped and I entered the maintenance phase.

I never set a goal weight. They seem to be an artifact of weight loss diets. When you enter the maintenance phase of the program, the important thing is maintaining the weight that you already lost. That is key.

Just move as much as you can, take your meds and Vitamins and fluids. You will get there!
