Hi everyone! My name is Amanda and I had my gastric bypass on March 17. Since then I have lost 27 pounds, but have definitely sloooowed down. I made the decision for gastric bypass since I started gaining weight 7 years ago after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The medications put so much weight on me and it has been really hard to lose. Now, I have found a medication that has worked and have been stable for sometime! For the first time I am looking forward to the future!

Hi Amanda and welcome to the group. I had my RNY on the 18th of March, I'm down 29 lbs, but have also slowed down (actually fighting the dreaded first stall). I need to find the right mix of food and exercise to keep things going. I was doing better before I went back to work but now I'm sitting all day long and I hate it. Also it stinks because I live in the Chicagoland area and walking at night in the cold is awful. I need to drag the treadmill out this weekend so I can kick thinks up a level.
