If you are expecting to never have stalls despite doing everything right, yes, you are expecting too much.
Keep following your program and stay off the scale for the next few weeks. Your body is doing tremendous work for you, having gone through a major trauma and speeding through some very rapid weight loss. It needs a little bit to catch up with the program. Keep going and the scale will start dropping again, but you absolutely can't let stalls freak you out like this. If you can't handle this occasionally, stay off the scale for longer or use a program like Trendweight to see the big picture. Good luck!

I started this Journey officially on January 12th 2016 and was approved for the surgery on February 8th! I'm scheduled for March 8th! I've been overweight all my life and I've reached my peak weight of 358! I do eat healthy but I just eat too much sometimes! I'm mostly nervous because I haven't told anyone besides my mother and one of my coworkers! I'm just glad to be able to kick start my healthy lifestyle! If anyone has any pointers of suggestions please feel free to leave them!

To be honest I would be..

Wow, I just shared my story on another complication thread. I'm so so sorry for what had happened to you. I had a very bad leak and 6 months of hell. I would consult another doctor. Are you near a large city with a bariatric board certified doctor? In in FL and know of some good ones in Orlando or cities close by. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy go out to you. I regretted having done the surgery too until I was able to have the leak fixed

I'm very concerned that at 6 months, well this is a bit way too long for my tastes. Nothing official but why did they wait this long?

I would consult another doctor to see if it could be repaired without bypass. That's a long time!
