Could be, probably is, but without your profile filled in there really isn't much data to go by.

Everyone is different, everyone looses at a different rate.

It's not abnormal. Everyone will lose at a different rate. The most important person to ask this person to would be your doctor, they know you better than we do.

Terry is right, please fill in your profile. For instance, if you started your journey at 400 lbs I'd say yes, it's not normal. If you're 5' 8" and weigh 250, maybe not? I only lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. It took a 4th fill and a consult with my nut to get the scale moving in the right direction for me.

btw-I know many people use apps and it's hard to even find the profile page but if you can ever sit down at a PC, you should fill in your profile? I've got a kindle fire and I have no idea how to navigate around that app :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
