I am 5 weeks out, down 34 lbs. Question is.. For the last 2 weeks I have only lost 2 lbs per week, Is that a norm? I do not snack, I walk, and am still on soft food diet . I'm not getting all my Protein in daily could that be the problem?

At week 4 I had a stall of only losing 1 lb a week for 2 weeks. I went insane. But I was doing everything right and eventually I pushed through and now I'm losing 1-2 lbs a day and im 9 weeks out today.

Being the marvelous machine that the body is - It will protect itself from harm. It might just think that you are starving yourself and so it stores what little you eat until your brain and body decide it is enough and your getting enough nutrients and you will lose weight again..

We NEED the Protein...It is the backbone of this entire program. Because we have such small stomachs now it is important to get the Protein required and Water enough to not dehydrate you...If you are not doing that no matter what you do your body will stall!!!!!!!

34 lbs. is amazing if you really think about it...That's 6.8 lbs a week...You will slow down as well..We all do....

Walking will require more calories.....

When was the last time you lost 34 lbs. in 5 weeks..something eh!!!!!

Thank yall for posting this...I was having the same problem some what, I am 4 weeks out and I am down 33 pounds. I was a little nervous because I lost 20 the first week and then nothing on weeks 2 and 3. Then 13 in the last 7 days. Glad to know that is somewhat "normal"...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
