Thank you for your opinions!! I'm being patient now...
I hv a question in mind: does our body build tissue around the staple line also?

Hi I had mine on 24th Feb 2016, and I have lost 7 kgs in total. 4 kgs from the day of surgery... N now it has stalled since 1 week! I also get the feeling that Hv I gone through all this for only 4 kgs!
I also wonder is my low BMI 37 one of the reasons?
Im feeling hopeful after reading this post ... And waiting for that day when my graph starts showing downward slope..

Stop. Stop. Stop. At two weeks out, your body has ONE goal: heal from surgery. It grabs on to every bit of nourishment it can so rebuild tissues. Don't expect to see much more than Fluid shift and initial losses from a drastic reduction in calories until you're a month out. The real healing point is between 4 and 6 weeks, no matter what you feel like. that's when you are healed enough to really get serious with the weight loss.

This absolutely happened to me at this same time and I even wrote a post on here too. I'm now 4 weeks post op and just now starting to see the scale move again. In my 2-3 week period I would gain a lb, loose a lb and it was so frustrating. So, I understand. But give it a week or two and you will see it start dropping again!
I'm 42 lbs down (including my pre-op diet loss) so it does get better!
