Weight lost has slowed..just hit 4 weeks..Is this normal?

[Trulyabeautifulbeing 2]

So I had my surgery on 6/29, after being a Lap Band patient from 9 years ago. I have lost so far 21lbs. I find myself on the scale everyday, just to be sure that I am not going in the wrong direction, which I probably need to stop doing. I just came back to work this past Monday, and it seems that I am moving round more but I haven't lost a pound. Again, being that I have been down this road, I want to be sure that we have as many WINS as we can. I just want to be sure that I am doing okay ya'll. I go for my 4 week follow up with my doctor tomorrow. Ya'll know I am over the shakes, but I still drink at least one every morning, and try to get the rest of my Protein through my food, and if anyone knows of another one that's a little easier to deal with or other ways to get my protein in besides Celebrate? I've heard about gummies and other stuff , but I just want a little more input. Of course I get full quickly, so I stopped adding almond milk to my shakes because it makes it to much. I am literally trying to get in the 4 oz. per hour. So now I'm just mixing it with Water, which isn't too bad. Any suggestions of anything more that I can or should be doing? I'm watching how my body reacts to anything that I eat, which is a job in itself. Some of ya'll have had great successes, and I want to be successful too!! I am open and very receptive!!

Yep, we usually call it the 3 week stall. Sounds like you got an extra week! Stalls are just part of it. You will hit many. Hopefully, it won't be as many as I did. Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and it will come off.

With going back to work - are you drinking enough Water? I know it's easy to get busy and forget to drink. Although the "stall" is normal!

Thanks for the update. I will make sure that I'm drinking my Water. I've been so busy with catching up and then or department moved. I'm going to set am alarm for myself.
