stalls is this normal?

[breuxo 78]

i know with weight loss stalls are a factor so many other things also make some lose faster than others.

i didn't have an extremely high bmi to start with so i know i'll loose slower.

i started at 255 day of surgery i was 240(so after my two weeks of optifast)

today i weigh 202/201

i am 5"7

i've just started hitting my Protein goal daily for about 2 weeks now!

i'm unsure if i'm not loosing weight like i should be. i feel great but the scale hasn't moved in 2.5 weeks i know it happens but last month i only lost maybe 8/9 pounds i am 3 months out from surgery had it september 22 2016 should i try and work harder? or just keep on going thanks

I had my bypass on 8/8/16. SW 281 CW 202. I'm losing 2 1/2 to 3lb. a week. The weight loss is slowing down but I expected that especially since I'm almost under 200 lb. I think your weight loss is normal. The lighter we get the weight will come off slower.

i think you are right the closer bmi gets to 30 the more it slows down! slow is better than a stop though lol

I had surgery on 8/25/16. SW was 286. Today I'm 238. I did not loose a lb for a whole month. I freaked out! My doc said it was normal that some people had a longer stall than others. The next week I lost 6 lbs in a week. But I have to say it didn't kick back in until I started exercising ! Some people never exercise and keep loosing. I'm not one of those people. I'm finding We have to make those changes for lifelong health.

Yep you are doing great and right around where I am. Weight loss in the the first year has more to do with genetics,,,if you are eating healthy and moving your body just stick it out. I walk 10,000 steps a day. I did 8-9 lbs. this past month..just had my dietician appointment and she was thrilled. Here is a chart for reference...
