I’m stalled right now too but I’m two weeks out. Have you been exercising? Walking? Drinking enough?

Because that over 4.5lb each week!! I mean think before surgery, could you have ever come close to that on your own? And I know there are stalls in there, but you really need to average it out like that as your body compacts on some weeks.

That's just under 5#'s per week. That's pretty phenomenal! You're doing great! Don't give up now.

Stalls are discouraging, but it sounds like you’re actually doing really well. I think we all think the weight will fall off like Water after having SURGERY, but it doesn’t... I’d say you’re ahead of the curve on weight loss. Be patient with yourself, and stop weighing yourself. Check back in with the scale in 2 weeks (😲 I know....)
