Just started eating soft food. My weight stopped going down as I lost 33 lbs in the first three weeks. Called my doctor he said that I lost Water weight and had to drink more liquids. I'm now going to my 5th week and still my weight didn't change. Is there something to worry about? Anyone had this experience?

Yes I did and still do I will go through small plateaus and the doctor told me this is normal it is my body try to get used to the changes and like you said drink more water and eat more protean! he said that the biggest weight lose is between week 10 and 8 months!
