Hello everyone! I am new to the group

Hello everyone, I am new to this group. I just had my surgery on June 17, 2019. I decided on getting the Sleeve Gastrectomy as opposed to the bypass. I have been doing pretty good until the past two weeks. I started this process when my weight was 325. Prior to surgery I had lost 25 lbs ( I had to wait almost two years) so I started surgery at about 300. I am down to 266. One morning I was down to 262, but a few days later I jumped back to 266. I seem to be staying around that number and it is scaring me because I am fearful I won't lose the rest of my weight. I know this has nothing to do with excessive caloric intake, so I am just wondering if we reach plateaus on the way down or if I am doing something wrong. I have also been going to the gym at least three times a week sometimes more. Please feel free to respond! Thank you!

Welcome, JamRob. Are you a man or a woman? It's hard to tell and the answer is different for a man than it is for a woman.

I apologize, I am a man! I will get a picture up there for my profile.

Hi @jamesonproberts and welcome to the group. Congratulations on the weight loss thus far. I'm just 4 wks out, but I've read and heard of several people hitting a plateau sometimes. It's still early in the process. Hang in there brother!
