Oh, but avocados are so gross!! Everyone loves them, but I just can't stand em. Lol.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll stick with it and maybe look at the scale less often. And diannepj1960, I WISH I was never hungry! I fill up quickly, but when my stomach empties its like someone threw a switch that starts blazing "I'm HUNGRY!!" Seriously is annoying. I'm hoping it goes away- I wanted to be one of the ones that forgets to eat....

Hi everyone! This is my first post or topic, though I've come to really rely on the advice and encouragement I find here. What a wonderful community. My question- or rather my worry- is this: I've barely lost any weight in the last 2 weeks, even though I'm only 4 weeks post op. My first week I lost about 10 lbs., but I wasn't really able to eat or drink much after all the medications. Once they were out of my system, I felt so much better! Over the next 2 weeks, I lost about 6 lbs., but nothing in the last week. The scale just sits and stares at me. Other than that, I'm doing really well- exercising, drinking lots of Water, trying to get enough Protein. I will say that I did not stay on the liquid diet after the first 2 weeks and have moved onto to almost any soft(ish) food, usually high in protein. I can eat chicken, turkey, yogurt, hummus, even vegetables.... almost anything with no problems. Small bites, chew-chew-chew and stop when you feel full. Even though I'm eating such small amounts, the WEIGHT-- it stays!! Is this normal? Will it start to fall off? Are there other people who did well off the liquid/pureed diet or did it bite them in the butt??
