It makes me crazy. I only lose weight every 4 weeks. I plateau for a month, then in one week I'll drop 3-5 lbs..... Then back to the plateau. If I weigh myself more than once a week I notice I will gain and lose the same 5 lbs beofre it finally drops off. But my monthly weigh-ins and measurings are showing about a 1 lb per week average. Is this normal? It doesn't feel normal! Thanks! Janet 300/270/218/150

My bariatric nurse, who also had the surgery a few years ago, said it would not be a constant straight line loss with 2-4 lbs every week; it will be more like stair steps with a weight drop, then leveling off, then drop again, leveling, drop, etc. Sounds like your experience is normal to me. Don't get discouraged! Kathy

yes, i have the same problem. I started worrying about it. But I also found out my hypothyroidism wasnt under control and they just increased my medicine and now I am losing again. Best of luck!
