???????????? 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?!?

My doc said that when working out , it's during those plateau periods that your body is trading fat for muscle. You're building muscle which weighs more and losing the fat so it can seem as if your weight is not moving, but you'll be losing inches elsewhere. Try that (tracking your inches) and see what you get. Also, the demon scale doesn't control everything. Look at how your clothes fit, your energy levels, all the little NSVs that your body has for you.

Don't panic! The best thing you can do is to keep exercising . It will help your thought process ! Get that cardio in????????
