Hi,
I'm in my third week post-op, back at work, doing well. Starting with the preop diet through the first two weeks post op, I lost 30 pounds. Now for about the past week, I've just stayed at the same weight. I've heard plateaus are a normal part of the process, and our bodies have to keep adjusting and re-adjusting. Just wondering what others have experienced in this timeframe? How long do these plateaus last? I'm getting good exercise, have started adding weight training, getting fluids and working towards protein goal (hard to get it all in with soft diet at this point).
Thanks
