Well, for starters, I'm new to the site. I'm also quite young - 18 in march. I had RNY this last November and I guess I'd just like to talk to more people who have been through this.
My mom had the surgery in '01, back when they opened you up. It's been really awesome having her here for me through all this, but it'd be nice to have a couple more views on things. I've recently hit my first plateau, and although I know I'm not done yet, it's still really unnerving. I lost really fast... 20lbs in the first 10 days actually. I'm down about 46 now. It's scary to be losing that fast and then stop completely for a week or so.
I'm also having trouble dealing with the attention at work. I was hoping to keep it mainly to myself, but I guess word traveled fast after I asked to go on medical leave.
There's those issues, plus the fact that with this plateau, I've started worrying a lot about failure. I don't like that I'm only 2 months out and already feeling like I might not be successful.
I would go to a support group, but through quite a few weight loss attempts, I've found they're really not my thing. I hope you guys can give me some tips and help me to stop worrying. Please tell me I'm normal!
