Welcome to the "everyone's WLS journey is different" club. The pace of actual pounds lost depends on a multitude of factors, including how much you weighed at the time of surgery, your lifetime patterns for loss (very slow for a long time in my case), ratio of fat to lean muscle, frequency and intensity of exercise, underlying metabolic or medical issues, and prescription medications you take. The advice I and many many folks on this site will give you is to put away your scale and focus on your regimen. Watch for the non-scale wins and changes which come. In my case, the inches go before the scale moves, so I know no matter what I am on the right track.

It's a time of adjusting for your body with it's new foods, or lack there of, coming in. Be patient. Many of us have had slow starts, or experience plateaus much sooner than we THOUGHT we would. There is no normal on this as we are each different, and weight loss, food choices, and exercising will vary person to person.

I am one who only weighs monthly. My weight loss the first 4-6 weeks seemed slower than many, and I could've gotten discouraged if I had weighed weekly. By the end of a month, you KNOW the scales will show a pretty good loss. Meanwhile, it's doable for me, because i"m concentrating on the process, and what I need to do each day to feel successful and healthier.

Definately congratulate yourself for non-scale victories. I held the exact same weight for about 6 weeks, and I was growing more despondent everyday and eventually I went shopping. Well, in spite of staying the same weight, I had dropped from a size 16 to a size 12. I don't know why the scale gets stuck on me.
The best thing I ever read about scales was this tidbit, " no scale in the world can measure a human being's worth".
'Nuff said. Smile at yourself.
