It's sooo normal that if you look around, you'll find tonnes of posts asking exacftly the same thing!

It's perfectly normal! And it may take another couple of weeks before you see any more weight come off. You've probably just started or will start solid foods and that slows down the loss at first.

For the next couple of months it's up to you to follow the band rules. It gets easier after you start getting fills and get restriction. Just don't get discouraged. This is a lifetime process, not a diet. Hang in there!

Yep, just like everyone just said, way normal. I had surgery Jan. 9th and just hit -50 today. There will definately be plateaus along the way. It is frustrating, but just know it is gonna come off. I didn't have any loss for 1 1/2 weeks. Then I made sure I was getting all my Protein and Vitamins. Upped excersing and kicked in again. Good luck with your journey!!!:confused:

Very normal. Eventually we hit a plateau. And when we start consuming solids and mushies we gain or plateau in weight. If you are worried about it try the following:

1. Increase your protein
   
2. Increase your level of activity
   
3. Track your calories
   

If you are already doing the above three suggestions, then try changing it around a bit. Sometimes our bodies become use to our routine. By changing your exercise or increasing your calories you can possibly get your body to start losing weight.

Good luck!
