no weight loss this week

2 months post op and I hit a week with no weight loss. Is that normal?

It is abnormal if you don't hit an occasional stall - the third week is a typical time for such things and then more randomly thereafter. I am one of the abnormal ones who only had one week during my entire loss period when I didn't show a loss; even a bit of gain here and there would not be abnormal - there are lots of things that can cause a bit of temporary Water retention - hormones, variations in dietary sodium, medication changes, changes in diet or exercise/activity routines, phases of the moon (jk)....

It is VERY normal. You will reach a point when you slow down, and it will freak you out. But, you are going to keep losing, just much more slowly than what you've been doing. Keep doing all the healthy things you know you should, and keep that exercise steady and constant. You are still on the right path.

OMG, so normal, and oh so frustrating. Remain focused and you will see results, but don't be surprised that this is your first of many stalls.

Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement. So hard to see the scale slow when you've been seeing a loss of .5lb to 1 LB a day.

Thanks cause i was getting a little worried. I actually gained back some weight, but i think its because now I'm back on my birth control pills.< /p>

Very normal. I hit goal by a year and had many very long frustrating stalls. I freaked each and every time for nothing. I had two six week stalls, but lost inches during this time. You'll get there. Relax and enjoy your new life.
