How long before you hit your first plateau?

I was on a 4 week pre op diet and I am 11 days out of surgery (so almost 6 weeks since I started losing weight). I lost 25 pounds before surgery and 35 pounds total (and 12.5 inches in my arms, legs, hips, waist and chest which has nothing to do with this but I am still excited lol). I have never hit a plateau. Should I expect one soon?

If have never hit one. I have lost weight every week since my surgery. Some weeks more than others, but I have lost at least a pound every week.

I have averaged a pound a day except when I was in the hospital because the IV made me gain weight. I can't imagine that will last forever. It would be nice though

Consider yourself lucky! Some of us are slower losers (and following the program to a T). I only lost 1.5lbs last week!

I only have been averaging about 2 pounds a week for the last month.  It does get frustrating being a slow loser.

I have been losing 1-3 pounds per week since the first month.  Kinda frustrating at first, when it seems like everyone else is evaporating quickly.  However, I am 8 months out and still losing with no plateaus.  Everyone is different.  Just don't get disappointed if it slows down.  Keep up the good work.

I just broke my first long stall of 3+ weeks. I blame it on my period, because right after my period slowed down/stopped the weight loss began again. This is the first major stall I have had since surgery, I am currently at 6 mo. Post op.
