Is this normal?? I'm 9 weeks post op I lost 23lbs within the first 2 weeks after surgery then I stalled then dropped 11 pounds in a 8 days. Then stalled again now I've started losing again?? Is this normal?? Is this gonna continue?? Not complainin because obviously I'm losin I just didn't think it would come in spurts like it has..

Yes, it's normal. It's a way for our bodies to get used to the weight loss. Great loss...keep it up. Good luck!

I feel like I am losing slowly - almost three weeks post op and only 19 pounds down. And ~ I know some of that was lost prior to surgery while on the clear liquid diet. Lately I wonder if I am going to be a slow loser throughout this entire journey.

lose..stall.. lose more.. stall again..

That is exactly how my fat packed up and left.

Before the operation it was lose....gain more....lose some...gain even more....

I like now better.

Yes, it's normal. Everyone is different, and it varies time and frequency. I'm in a 3 week stall now. The longest one so far. But don't stress, and stay with the program. You know the drill, get your protein, drink your water and exercise. The weight will come off.

Sounds like it's normal for you. Everyone is different and that's why you can't compare your weight loss with anyone else. I lost the same way. My first stall was 5.5 weeks long. The stalls continued throughout. I would lose weight, stall, lose inches and lose a bunch of weight again. I weighed in weekly and kept notes of my losses and this was my pattern. At first it felt like I would never get to where I wanted to be but when you are over a year out all of those pounds and inches add up and you are thin! So, yes, this is normal for you!

Welcome to the club...just keep doing what you're doing....it will come off..I promise...140 pounds in 6 months here

I will be 4 months out on Feb. 8 and have only lost 64 pounds. i feel in a way that is slow, but I am happy with that lose.

I am the exact same way it's really discouraging!

Yes - normal!

Thank goodness I have all you guys telling me this is normal because it sure is annoying when you hit a plateau and you wonder if 23 pounds is all you r ever going to lose. It is always been a major HEAD game losing weight, and for me, stalls are a major reason why i would always fail at dieting. It was always so demoralizing I would just say, "f" it and start eating again!

It's normal and you should want it to be. This way your body adjusts to the weight loss and you have time to adjust mentally. Don't be discouraged. We are all different and will lose in different amounts and stall for different periods of time. Just remember: protein, water, exercise!

I'm almost just about 3 weeks post op about 4 days into the mushy phase I started at 315 I've been stuck at 280 for the last 5 days so I dropped 35 Pds in 2 weeks and 0 in the last 5 days and I actually picked up my cardio a week ago I'm doing at least. 3 miles a day on treaDmill and only intaking like 400 to 600 calories a day I don't understand ugghh
