Hi there! I'm sort of new around here and still finding my way around so I apologize if this is covered somewhere already. I had surgery on 1/15/15 and therefore am 19 days post-op. I lost 14lbs my first 2 weeks, but have not budged this past week. I am following the eating guidelines and am wondering if this is common? It's REALLY discouraging and I'm trying to stay positive and not think I went through all of this for nothing. Help?

It is very common. It is called the three week stall. As long as you follow the plan (protein, liquids and exercise when u are able), the stall will break.

It can be frustrating so if it really bothers you, stay off the scale for a week or two. There will be many more stalls along the way.

Good luck!

Ugh the same thing happened to me. But I bet if you measure yourself and compare to your measurements before surgery you've lost a few inches. Stalls suck, but they do happen, unfortunately! Congrats on the 19 lbs in 2 weeks! That's great!!

Stalls are very common. Don't feel alone in that! Stick to your plan, take a break from the scale and it'll at work out. I'll 2nd measurements - they change even when the scale doesn't. Happy losing!
