Yes, it's very normal.

Totally. Think of it like stairs. Drop, level stage, drop, level stage. Many have times of many weeks without loss.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
i'M AT JUST A LITTLE OVER 3 WEEKS. My first two months I lost tremendously, but the last month and a week or so it has been extremely slow, about 1, sometimes two pounds a week but I am losing inches because now I can fit into 44 jeans and buy them in a regular store. My waist size used to be 52/54! I'm just enjoying a healthier lifestyle, working out, eating better and felling better. One suggestion I will give you-stay away from too many carbs! Do as we were told to do-Proteins, veggies first, lots of water. Although it's going to happen anyway, I'm convinced that my stalls were due to getting comfortable and eating to much bread, lunch meat, etc. Now I'm back to eating as the Dr says I should be eating 3 months out. In the long run-one year from my surgery date-I think I will be where I need to be, average of 2 lbs a week and hopefully 104 pounds lost!
Totally normal. Stalls will happen throughout this process and they always suck :P
