I'm not sure if I'm im in a stall.

[RaulG 1]

My HW prior to surgery on 8/8 was 426, I rapidly dropped to 379 as of today. I was used to seeing 2-3 lbs a day, now it's only maybe 2-1 lbs a day... I know I have a long way to go, and I'm following all my Drs orders to a t. Anyone else have this issue?

Sounds to me like you've had great progress so far and if you're still losing 1-2 lbs per day, I wouldn't call that a stall!

It is normal for things to slow a bit, or even stall as your body is going through a lot of changes. Now and again, it "takes a break" to recharge.

Sounds like you're still doing great so keep doing what you're doing!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate and we all experience stalls.

Almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, exercise when cleared, and stay off the scale.

Losing weight is not a stall. The more weight you lose in total, the slower your daily (I really don't suggest weighing every day unless you can detach from it), weekly and mothly loses are going to be. That is natural.

@@RaulG If you are losing 1-2 lbs a day - that's excellent and not a stall. You're doing something right - keep it up!

I was also sleeved on 8/8. My day of surgery weight was 191. By 8/15, I was down to 182 and the scale hasn't moved since. I am guessing it is normal to slow down while your body adjusts to your new diet. I'm hoping it'll start moving again once I advance to soft foods.

A stall is three weeks of no scale movement -- up or down. You're certainly not in a stall. One to two pounds a week is good, one or two a day? Celebrate!!

It will..my weight slowed down to. We had our surgery the same day I started with 239 now I'm 217.

Wow that's a lot of weight in a short amount of time, seems like you're on track. I know some weeks may be lower than others but you're going great
