Well after I finally posted about this stall, today I got on the scale and I finally lost a little more. Now I am down 20lbs in 17 days and that does not seem so bad anymore. I will try not to panic so quickly anymore. :thumbup:

I had my surgery on 12/28. I am 16 days out and my weight loss has stalled at 18.5 lbs lost for 5 days. I did not think I would stall out this soon either. I am just bearing with it and hoping for the best. I am going to check my carb intake as well. I did hit some depression too. Now I am sick on top of it all.

I am sooo glad I found this thread. I was wondering all these things about how the weight loss will proceed. I think that we all share that, 'too good to be true' mentality and think it will never happen for us. I thought I was alone in that, but I see it is a common fear. I can't imagine reaching my goal. I never have before. I am 10 days out and have lost 15.5 lbs. and still I keep waiting for something to happen and it all comes back. The concept of gone forever just seems unattainable for someone who has suffered the emotional pain of obesity.
