Sometime we stall for a bit of time, but that is really giving our bodies time to catch up with all that is going on. Don't freak, yes this is normal. You need to start using your tape measure. I bit you are dropping inches. If you are doing what the doc says. Then you are doing right. Give it time.

I promise that scales well start moving once again.

Don't stress, I went through the same thing! I lost weight the first two weeks, then weighed EXACTLY the same for two more weeks! I was crying at some points, completely freaked out that this wasn't working for me! At my one month post-op the PA gave me some ideas on switching up my protein sources (less dairy), and I was losing again right away. I think our bodies just go through a little "temper tantrum" stage, where they just refuse to lose any weight for a while, protesting the lack of food. And of course it thinks we're starving, so it tries to conserve. You will be losing in no time, sweet pea! No worries!
