???????????? Fustration????????????

So friends, I'm really starting to believe I'm the first person this surgery is just not going to work for. I'll be 5 weeks post op tomorrow. I was losing great the first 3 weeks and now NOTHING!!!!!!!!! And I mean absolutely NOTHING!!! What am I doing wrong?!? I follow my meal plan, taking in the right amount of protein, trying to up my water intake, I'm exercising 3-4 days a week. I'm getting very depressed, anger,and frustrated!!!!!! Please someone tell me if this is a "stall" how long will this last?!?

Look at how your clothes fit, your energy levels, all the little NSVs that your body has for you.
