Is it Normal?

So I had surgery July 30th. On that day I weighed 234lbs and today I weighed in at 222.. But I have been this weight for 3 days. I think it's normal but I just feel like maybe I might of hit my 3 week stall early losing 12 lbs in the first 8 days.. What do you all think?

Hi Samantha!

I had surgery on July 16th and weighed 242. Today I weigh 228. I have been 228 for almost 2 weeks now. It is completely possible that your body is in shock and trying to store what little you do eat. I know that it is very hard, and you will hear it over and over again, but put the scale away! Weigh yourself at the doctor's office. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!!!!

I think a 12 pound weight loss in 8 days is absolutely fantastic.  Getting on the scale so often is counter productive and will only make one fearful and anxious.  Be patient, the miracle will happen.  Good Luck !!

Congratulations on your loss!  I had my surgery on June 25th and weighed 271 on that day.  Three weeks later I was down to 252.  I stayed at 252 for almost 2 weeks.  The Nurse practitioner told me to hang in there and keep doing what I was doing.  I went home and didn't change a thing.  I am now down to 241 at just over 6 weeks out.  So, don't worry and hang in there.  Your body will adjust.  :)
