I had surgery June 27th 2014. I weight 240lbs the day of the surgery. (5'2")

Its almost been 5 weeks and I know weigh 216lbs. My scale has not moved in a week and I'm scared that I have stopped loosing weight.

Please someone tell me your experience. I really need some advice.

I just had my surgery on 7/28 but that is also one of my biggest fears, but I have spoken with several people who are well into their journey and one thing that's consistent is that they all experience stalls. Your weight loss so far is amazing and I am sure there is more to come.

Congratulations on losing 24 lbs in 5 weeks! First of all, I think you should be happy with your weight loss so far. The fact that you haven't lost weight in a week is probably not something you need to worry about. You will drive yourself nuts this early on. If you are following your plan, you should continue to lose weight. Your body may not necessarily lose in any consistent pattern, so be patient and celebrate your total loss and the progress you have made towards your goal. Oh, one more thing, try to stay off the scale.

I have lost weight with no discernible pattern. Early on I lost 5 lbs/week for about 2 months, then went 3 weeks with no weight loss. Since then, I have lost anywhere from 1 to 4 lbs per week. I really don't know why that is, and I don't care, since I have followed my surgeon's plan as best I can. I can see the results (68lbs in 5 months, off BP meds, lower blood glucose).

Stick to your plan, and you will continue to lose.
