You might be on a stall. I had my surgery 8/8/16. I've already had 2 stalls. One for 3 weeks right after surgery, just getting off a 2 week stall. Everyone weight loss is different. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Make sure your Protein is at least 60a days, and Water at least 64. I find the 2 Snacks a day are imporant to get your protein in. I use light baby bell, or light &fit greek yogurt. Protein will fill you more and keep you going. Don't get discourage just stay your coarse, and the weight will come off. Don't forget to weight everything and log your food somewhere to always know where you are for tge day. Hope this help you to know your not alone and be patient.

I have heard people commenting on people having back pain between there shoulder blades. Could anyone shed light on this. How long did it last, and what did the Dr's say about this. The pain is severe at time. I've always had lower back pain, but this gets real bad at work. I have to take some pain meds to get comfortable at work.
