most people experience their first major stall sometime within the first month or so after surgery. It's usually the third week, but not always. Mine was weeks 2 & 3. Yours is pretty early - although that's not unheard of.

I’m 14 days post op. I lost 12 pounds the first week and three the next then this morning I’m up 2 pounds. I’ve always fluctuated day by day so I’m not gonna worry much

I’m glad you posted this, I am experiencing the same. I was sleeved on 4/26, lost 16 the week before on Clear Liquids, only 6 in the week of surgery. I am down 2 lbs this week so far, so I think on track to be another slow week. Feeling kind of discouraged but trying to stay hopeful! I wonder if I am just not being active enough.

At my two week follow up, I was down 8 pounds. I asked them about whether that was low and they said people are all over the place in the first few weeks and they don’t benchmark until 2 months out

Thank you everyone for the replies. I just really feared being a “slow loser.”

ARRRGGHH this damn thing won't let me edit! Or delete! Anyway, I was a slow loser from the get-go, and I ended up losing 100% of my excess weight (over 200 lbs). Your eventual success is due to your level of commitment, not your rate of weight loss. Besides, rate of weight loss is dependent on several factors, only two of which - activity level and how closely you stick to your program - you have much control over. The other things that influence it - age, gender, metabolic rate, genetics, starting BMI - you really have little to no control over. So if you do well with those first two, you WILL lose the weight. So don't fear being a slow loser - many of us were, and we still lost the weight..

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
