I had RNY on 9/29 and for the first two weeks lost a little over 14 pounds. My official three week weigh in will be on Monday but it looks like so far that I've only lost one pound. Is that even possible? I'm so scared that I've done something wrong or you know that feeling - am I the only one this surgery won't work for? Please help - any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling a little over the top right now and it's hard not to compare myself to others who have lost 20 pounds at this poinit. HEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP

I'm in a stall as well and I have been told it is completely normal...

14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey. I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

I've been in a stall for about a week, too. I'm sure our weight losses will pick up again soon. I think my body is in shock from not having tremendous amounts of food in it anymore!! : )

I had surgery on 9/22 and I'm bouncing between 1 to .5 lbs for the past week too...everyone says very normal. Our bodies are trying to catch up to what we've just gone through...hang tight and keep doing what your surgeon says...

Its a stall but don't worry about it. You are doing fantastic. My first 20 lbs was a piece of cake now I only lose 3 lbs a week. I am ok with that it is way better then gaining 3 lbs a week. Hang in there we are all on the same boat.

I've read often on the main boards that stalls are very common at 3 weeks and 3 months. Don't be discouraged - it's your body going into survival mode and hanging on to anything it can! I'm sure you will be just fine as long as you're following those rules! Best wishes, Sandi

I stalled at three weeks, for three weeks. Hopefully, I am losing weight again, but I'll wait another few days to make that decision.
