    Hi,

    Congratulations on your weight loss!!

    I had RNY surgery last December. I've been lucky as well with no complications. So are I've lost almost 120 pounds since my surgery. I did go through plateaus and weeks when I wouldn't lose...I even gained a couple of times!

    Are you exercising regularly? When I started being more consistent with my workouts things got moving again. Be sure to mix up your workouts so you aren't doing the same thing everyday. Are you eating back some of your exercise calories? I try to eat a couple 100 of mine each day. Drinking plenty of fluids??

    Welcome and congrats on your success so far!

    Feel free to send me a friend request. I was banded in January of 2007. I've had some ups and downs myself and am now back on track and 20 lbs away from my goal weight.

    Good luck to you!

    I had it as well March 2006. Stalls are a given with this WOL. Are you using this site to track your meals? Are you eating foods with higher carbs? What is your calorie intake? Have you been to see your nutristionist or doctor to discuss this recent weight gain? We can give you suggestions but we need more info to really do that.
