Did great pre-op and immediately post-op (first 2 weeks on full liquids). Down about 30 lb. Since starting on puréed diet a week and a half ago, I have lost less than a pound- has anyone else experienced this kind of plateau? I'm following the prescribed diet faithfully, but am really getting frustrated. I am exercising by walking 3 miles a day + going to the gym 3 days a week, but still nothing is happening. I was doing so great and was very excited about my decision to have the surgery, but my entusiasm is waning fast. Help!

I lost 13 in one week of clear liquids and just 6-7 in the following 3 weeks of purees. Frustrating, yes. There is no "normal" though. As everyone else will tell you, just make sure you are getting your protein and liquids.
