This is completely normal. Almost everyone stalls out in the 2nd-3rd week, so you are RIGHT on schedule. I lost 10 pounds my first week and then stalled for like a week and a half, but I am down over forty pounds (including my 10 lb pre-op loss) since surgery in late January. Don't worry!

I stalled right out the gate too..... My surgery was March 28th so I'm 12 days post op too! I'm down 10 pounds but have been sitting here within a pound since the first week. From what I've read, we are right on track and I just keep reminding

myself how happy I am that I will never be this weight again because it's not coming back this time like it did before! Woohoo! Also, the slower we lose, the better in so many ways bc of loose skin and gallstone issues. The weight will come off because we just aren't consuming that many calories and everything we do eat is healthy now!

I was sleeved 3/20 and hit my slow-down (I hesitate to call it a stall with me because I was still going down about .2 lbs every couple of days and it only lasted about a week for me. Now I seem to have passed that and am going down again. Sounds like you are perfectly normal and doing great!

This post is perfect timing! Surgery was on 3/23/12, and I have barely lost 10 pounds. Bummed and discouraged.

I am 4 weeks post-op as of tomorrow and have been stalled for the last week. I am going crazy!!! Come on!!! I know its all par for the course, but I still have no patience! Any ideas on how to get things moving again?
