I'm in the 100's! Anyone else lose this way?

Hello Everyone! Hope your having a great day! I am 198 this morning! But a couple days ago I weighed 203. I was wondering if anyone else stays at the same weight for weeks and then wham... I lose 4-8 lbs. This is the way I have been losing weight since surgery 11 weeks ago. Are stalls normal so early on? I know everyone is different and I'm quite happy with the amount I've lost so far. Sometimes I feel like, o'h great, I'm going to be the only one this surgery doesn't work on. Then I realize, even though I lost most of my weight in the first two weeks, I have been averaging 4 lbs. a week over a 11 week time period. Ha,Ha! Anyways, I was just curious if this is normal! :) Thanks in advance!

Thanks axir8n! Freaks me out sometimes but then it comes off. Glad to know I'm not alone! Congrats on your weightloss! That's Awesome! I can't wait to be there! Have a great day!

I've been doing the same my whole 5 months so far. I actually get excited when I have been at the same weight for a while especially if the clothes aren't fitting the same because I know a WHOOOSH is coming!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my last attempt to lose with low carb, I lost exactly as you say... weeks with nothing, then BAM, 4-8 lbs gone in a day or two... Mine always happened the week I started my period. Since that last big weight loss (and regain + some... sigh) I've had a hysterectomy, so I'm really curious what'll happen now...

I just wish my doctor would get my approval letter in the mail and we can get on with this! (My insurance said the letter was mailed out last Friday, I haven't gotten my copy, and I don't think my doc has gotten his copy yet either... I'm getting VERY impatient waiting!)

Thanks to those who responded and I'm glad to see some lose this way too!
