My scale is going the wrong way
Turn your scale upside down and see if that helps ;)
It is very common for folks to stall out around this time, just stick to your plan and it will resume after a whille. I lost weight the first few days, then not a pound for 2 weeks. It is starting to drop again. I did lose a lot of inches during that time so try to notice if that is happening- it will make you feel better!

Likely jus****er weight, it'll come off! I know it's disheartening, though.
As a side note -you are only 2 weeks out and you are going to the gym 3-4 times a week?? What are you doing there? I wasn't cleared for exercise at 2 weeks out - in fact, I don't get cleared until 6 weeks! I hope you are taking it easy.
Hang in there. Scales are stupid and not to be trusted. If you haven't done it already, take your measurements. When you get into an inevitable stall, it sometimes reassuring to see the inches are still coming off!
ETA: you are NOT a failure! You sound very determined and dedicated, so you'll do great with your sleeve!!

regained 40 lbs. (grrrr!)
In summary: Alive & Grateful. 
I was informed by my Dr office that by the end of my 2nd week that I need to be walking 2 miles. I started off slow and am progressing I can now do 2 miles on the treadmill it takes me about 45 minutes. No I haven't done measurements, maybe I should try that too. Thank you for you thoughts and words of encouragement. I dont have a support system at home so I love reading everyone's experiences.
That's great - 2 miles on the treadmill is fantastic. Way to go! I wish my doctor would clear me for exercise on the treadmill. You are tempting me to start anyway! ;) (Because why would walking on the treadmill be anymore dangerous than walking around the house or neighborhood? Right?)
You are doing great - and definitely take those measurements! They've been a big morale booster for me when I needed them!

I'm 3 weeks post op myself and I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks, but stayed put the third week. I think it's pretty normal. Our bodies will take some time to adjust to the new "normal" soon enough. Keep up the protein and fluids and don't get discouraged.
