Hi guys, I just want to hear about others and their weight loss. I am not totally frusterated yet, but I don't understand. I started at 294 3 weeks ago today. Today I woke up at 272....I have not lost anything in a week. Last Sunday, I weighed 272 also! Is this normal? I did lose 23 lbs in two weeks! Which is wonderful, I know! But why has it stopped? Anyone else stalled? Thanks!

My sister stalled after her first couple of weeks also for over a week but to date she has lost 82 pounds and her op was Mar. 1 so I wouldnt worry much about it. I've had days where I dont lose anything then I will go down 3 pounds. You are doing well by the end of my second week I was down 21 pounds. Patty

Let your body catch up! It is readjusting to the changes going on. Look for other changes - have you lost inches, have you made positive changes, etc..? 23 lbs is great, more will come - just wait.

I lost 25 pounds in the first 2 weeks and have stalled in the 3rd week as well. I'm sure its just adjustments. Lisa

Yes, I stalled after about 10 pounds, 8-days post op. I was frustrated too. But, I've started back to Curves for Women and I think the rest will come off easily. I'm really watching what I eat and making sure I take my vitamins. Now at 14 days post op, I've managed to take off another 5, so that's about a pound a day. The doctor says to expect less, so I am trying not to get too anxious!!! It's so hard, though, because I wanted it ALL to come off at once! Isn't that rediculous? Still......you're doing great! Just bump up the exercise. See if that helps! LH Alabama

YES! I am pretty sure I am stalled for a week and a half. And today, I think it went up a couple of pounds! ugh. I really feel like it isn't going to work for me, this is my regular dieting plateau weight too. I am a little overdue for my monthly, so I am hoping this is water retention........ Laterz Nona
