Ne suggestions?????????
This whole thread really did make me laugh out loud. OP, I hope you don't take offense to that or to anyone elses posts above... but it is accurate to say that a short stall or slow down a few weeks out is VERY common.
In my 3rd VLOG after WLS (about a month out) on youtube, I discussed this... it had happened to me too. However, having seen my surgery bros and sisters here on OH having gone through the same, helped me to not freak out :)

Follow my progress on youtube!
(Lost slowly and painfully from 355 to 275 from 2007-2009, then started gaining again before scheduling surgery! Best thing I ever did! :D)

So first, stalls are normal. I have someone hide the scale for two weeks when I have one, then stay on program.
Second, slowing down will happen. You are not going to lose every month like you did the first month!
Everyone's body is different but if you stick to plan you WILL lose weight. Take a deep breath. Follow mm's suggestion about your scale (or at least picture yourself doing so) and then walk away from it for a few weeks.
