You are stalling just about where I had my horrible stall. I would get on the scale week after week and see ZERO or ONE pound loss, drove me crazy. I weigh once a week, and now at almost 4 months out I see a loss every week. Dont panic, its normal and IT WILL COME OFF as long as you are doing everythng your surgeon requires!! Good Luck and dont weight every day, its not healthy!!

Hi I am 7mo post op and I still weigh everyday dont worry stalling is normal. When your body is ready to let go of the weight you will see a drop. I would be at the same weight for two weeks then overnight drop 5lbs. Just hang in there.

I also did the same thing. I even dreamed that my surgery didn't work and I got bigger & bigger. I am now 2 1/2 months post op and dropping wieght like crazy! I follow everything the doc and dietitian tells me and I work out 6 days a week. Try not to let it get to you, it is my understanding that we will continue to go through the stalls but the weight will come off.

Stalling is normal. The best thing to do is so like I did and NOT weight yourself for about a month. Then you will be very pleased when you see the stall is over. Don't sweat it, your body is just fighting back a bit, everyone's does.

Your weight lost will come - take it easy. You will hit many sticking points. I had mine on May 09 - 05 and today I have lost 170lbs.
