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)

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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
