Thanks everyone!

Hello! I'm new to BariatricPal and wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Elaine and I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 2/10/15. I lost 15 lbs pre-op on my liquid diet and 21 lbs since the surgery. I go for my post-op month appointment with my surgeon tomorrow.
I think it's awesome that I lost 36 lbs so far and I can't wait to see more weight loss!
I've been stalled for about 2 weeks now with my weight loss and I can't lie...it's been messing with my head a bit. This has happened to me in the past with my other attempts at weight loss. My body doesn't like me to lose anything over 40 lbs apparently. I don't think it will have a choice this time.
I started walking during my lunch hour 3 to 4 days a week for now and am looking into joining a gym and meeting with a trainer.
I joined this looking for advice and support to keep going. Looking forward to getting to know people and getting some great advice!
Stall...at 10 days? Any thoughts?

I had a stall 3 weeks after my surgery (2/10/15)...for 2-3 weeks! But I am happy to report that I stopped getting on the scale and noticed that my body started feeling smaller. Even during that non-weight loss period, I was able to get into smaller pants! AND...I lost 4lbs a week for the last 2 weeks.
Your body is catching up to your weight loss. Just stay positive and keep your head in the game!
