Hi Jasmine, The 25 lbs you have lost so far is great!. I wouldn't get discouraged if you haven't lost any weight in the last week. Your body needs to adjust to the amount of weight you are losing and you will plateau.There is a wonderful support group here in Bakersfield. Who was your surgeon. Did you have your surgery at Mercy or San Joaquin?
