Is it normal for your weight loss to slow down in your third week post op after sleeve surgery?

Yup. May even stop for a little while. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will pass. Your body is just adjusting and taking a break

The 1,976,453 other posts on these forums about the "week 3 stall" would indicate that it's pretty common.....

Thanks to you both. I guess I did not read far enough about the third week stall.

Heh. If you hang around these forums (which I HIGHLY recommend) you will see this topic crop up pretty much every single day. So it's amusing and sort of a running joke to us "vets". These forums are great though for getting answers to common questions, sharing your unique story, and just generally hanging out. You will learn a lot here and find a lot of support and make some good friends.

I stalled at week 5. Didn't lose a lb for 2 weeks then I've averaged 5 lbs a week since. I'm down 100lbs in 4 months. Don't get discouraged. Just stick to the rules and it'll fall off.
