Recent surgery weight loss stall

do a search for 3 week stall on the site. You have hit it early but it is normal.

Hang in there. We all don't loss fast. I am a slow loser and it floored me thinking no more than I am eating weight should be falling off me...but it doesn't I will lose a few and then stall for awhile then lose a few more. In the end as long as you are following plan it will come off. I know we want it all off now...but ask yourself.....what are you going to do when it all comes off? If you think you are going back to your old ways ...it will come back! We have to be in this for a lifetime change! Hang in there!
You lost 22 pounds in a week? Did you think that was going to continue?
I actually gained 11 pounds in surgery. It took me over a week to get down to my starting point.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
No I did not think that was going to continue. Yes, I gained weight right after surgery but that was all IV fluids, counting that weight I lost about 35 lbs. I did not think that I would continue to loose like that but, I did think I would loose something. The last 12 days I have not lost a single pound. That was my concern. I have found that there is a stall at first. I was just worried that I was doing something wrong or the surgery was not going to work for me like other things I have tried that have not worked.
