Stalls

Is it normal to hit a stall in the first month?

yes. So common that there's an unofficial name for it - "The Three-Week Stall" (doesn't necessarily always fall on week 3, but somewhere around there)

Okay... I did get on the scale today and it had moved some, so I am optimistic. This is a new journey and I am still learning!! thank you

You also have to remember that there are different opinions on what a stall is.

For me a stall is simple, it is no weight lost at all for a period of two weeks or more. In some cases you can even see a small bit of gain but it usually comes back off immediately.

There will be many usually along ones journey. It is your body simply resetting itself. I tell myself that every time I experience one. I think I am currently at the tail end of one now. The scale has not moved in the last two weeks until this morning. I am hoping it continues.

I seem to stall about every 10lbs as I near my goal.

Congratulations on getting your surgery done and your weight loss so far!
