I have the same issue - frustrating. I have been stalled for over 2 weeks, just cant seem to drop that extra 2 lbs to be under 200 lbs! I was not aware of the consistency on weight loss either. Will just carry on and not weigh myself daily. I guess losing 16 lbs in 7 weeks is good. Just want it to be more!! Good luck everyone. this is NOT as easy as I thought it would be, but willing to carry on

You aren't going to lose consistently. Ever, ever, ever. The sooner you face this reality, the less anxiety you'll have during the weight loss phase.
Losing weight with a sleeve is not a consistent process. It doesn't occur in a predictable pattern. Weight loss isn't a linear event: we lose pounds, hold on to some pounds at times, and stall occasionally before dropping more weight.
Moreover, certain groups of people may lose more slowly, such as 'lightweights' who started at less than 200 pounds, older females, menopausal ladies, racial/ethnic minorities, and those with metabolic issues (PCOS, hypothyroid, long-standing diabetes, insulin resistance).
You may also weigh yourself too often. I only weighed myself once monthly during my weight loss phase to prevent disappointment from not seeing daily weight loss. Monthly weights were better for my sanity due to seeing the progress over a time period of 4+ weeks.
Remember that you probably didn't become fat in a few months. Therefore, it won't come off in a few months. Slow and steady wins the race. Fast and crass doesn't last.
Good luck to you.
