It helps so much to hear this. I just joined this forum this morning because I am so worried about my progress. Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences in this and good luck to us all!

hi all! I'm a little nervous about this myself. I lost almost 20 pounds in the first 3 weeks but now I'm at 7 weeks and I've only lost 3 more pounds since then. I'm starting to worry I'm doing something wrong : (

I've hit it too, I only weigh myself once a week on Sunday. The last two weeks I've lost a total of 3 pounds, whereas I lost around 20 pounds the first two weeks. I'm just going to keep on going and if I'm still stalling at my 8 week checkup then I will worry about it.

I haven’t had my surgery yet it’s next month but I am glad I know what to expect and to know that it will pass. I’ve already made up my mind to not look at the scale post op and I’ll just get my weight taken at my follow-ups. You have to remember there are other benefits to the wls and if your goal was to look good in a bikini or lose 60 lbs in a couple of months then of course you will be disappointed. My advice is to stop weighing yourself and follow the program the weight will come off.

I wanted to update! Stalls are real and frustrating but keep going and it will come off. I am now almost 6 months post op and have lost 45 lbs. I’m still losing slowly but the point is I’m still losing. Expect stalls and don’t compare your loss to others. I am off all meds and exercising 3 days a week...things I haven’t done in years!

if you're following the program and have just been on full liquids, then you're fine. Some of us lose slower than others, and your surgeon should know that. The only time it would be a problem would be if you're going off plan, but it sounds like you're not. I was constantly behind the curve the whole time I was losing. It wasn't my fault - I was following the plan to a "T" - I'm just a slow loser.
