I had sleeve done 9/2/14. lost 5lbs on 7 day pre-op diet and 10 more week after. since the 1 week point when they moved me to soft foods, I have not lost a pound  ....Not only that, I feel like I can eat anything if I want..no restriction, just going on will power like before  (which obviously didn't work out for me) Is this normal???

Yes you are completely normal. The nerves in your stomach have been cut so you can't rely on feeling. Make sure you measure your food so your not overeating.

Also stalls at 3 weeks 3months and 6 months are completely normal. Just get your fluids and protein in and things will start moving again

This is totally normal.  You're still healing, your nerves were severed.  Restriction won't kick in until you've healed up and are eating solid foods.  Stalls are also completely normal!  Breathe deep, stick to the plan, and you'll reach your goals :)

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
