ME!!!!! I will be stuck on a weight for weeks then... booom overnight 5 lbs. fall off. Believe me, I'm not complaining, but it's weird. I start to get all bummed that I'm stuck, then...it's gone. The fat fairy must come in the night. LOL! I'm amazed with the results so far, but it does seem to be slowing down now. I'm curious to see any other posts to see if anyone has any insight on this. Good question!

I've never been able to figure out how this can possibly happen, but it does. I have lost 5 or 6 pounds in a nights sleep after not having lost for 2 or 3 weeks. It's definitely wierd but true!

WELL NOW! Did you ever ring my bell on this one! I am the queen of this weight loss pattern. Every since about week 3 post op I will go days and days with no loss, then drop 3-4 over night. I have lost as much as 10 lbs overnight after a 3 week plateau. It was sooooooo discouraging at first, thinking I wasn't losing, going day after day, even going up a pound or two. I have absolutely NO EXPLANATION, except that water retention and bowel habits seem to play a role. I also have to take certain medications for Fibromyalgia which appear to make my weight loss slower, but in the end my average weight loss seems normal. In any case, I'm 23 lbs. from goal, -123 total 11 months post op. GOOD LUCK!
