So I lost 20 pounds from my surgery date 3/3 /14 and 31 pounds together  from the time of 2 week liquid diet ....  However from March 14th I have been at the same weight for 6 days .  How can I be in the stall 2 weeks out after surgery ? I'm doing everything I was supposed to ? Grrr

Search here for stalls. They're 100% normal as our bodies adjust. Make sure you're getting your water and protein in and try to rely on other measurements instead. :)

I was looking through your old posts and it seems like you do a lot of comparing yourself to others from your comments.  I might be reading it wrong, but it might be a good idea to work on breaking that habit of comparison.  You are you :)  Your weight loss will be different than anyone else's!  Sometimes you will stall, sometimes you'll lose multiple pounds in one day.  You'll get there if you keep on plan :D

 I am just curious , what is your expectation for weight loss? How much are you expecting too lose per week? per month ?  or do you expect to lose something everyday ?  Do you weight your self everyday ?   20 lbs in two week is amazing  good job

I expect to lose 3-5 pounds per week consistently upto 6 months  then 1 -2 pounds until I'm 165-170.

Well in your 17 days since surgery, you've lost 20 pounds, which is definitely more than 3-5 pounds a week.

That is an amazing loss already.  20 pounds in 2 weeks is huge!  Your body is just adjusting to your new stomach and how the system needs to work.  A lot of the stalls at this point are jus****er weight issues.  Put the scale away for a few days and focus on staying hydrated and getting as much protein as you can tolerate.  the weight will come off.

If you search stalls you will see that almost everyone stalls at this point.
