Feeling like I'm stuck
so I just found out about this group, and thought this might be a good place to get some feedback. I had my surgery on 5/23, and lost 20 lbs the first week! I feel like everything has come to a screeching halt the last two weeks. Is that pretty common? I think I'm down about 25lbs, but I don't think I've lost anything in the past two weeks.

You will not lose weight every week.
The general pattern seems to be that many folks lose a bunch of weight immediately after surgery (10 - 20lb or more), then things slow WAY down. After the first month, 1 - 2lb per week, slow and steady, is probably average.
