When was your first plateau?

I had my surgery on 8/1/18. During the pre-surgery diet through the first 2 weeks post op, I was losing 1-1.5 lbs/day, which was awesome!

But for the last week I've held steady at the same weight - 340lbs.

I'm currently on pureed foods, so I've been trying to go back to more liquids, but I'm still stuck. A week isn't a long time, and I expected to hit plateaus, but I'm surprised I hit one 2 weeks post-op.

Anyone else hit one so early? How long do they last? Trying not to get frustrated, but it is hard.

Keep it up... just like everyone said it started to work again.

Honestly the best way to break a stall is to do something different. If you’re eating the same thing or the same amount of calories every day, try something new. Or go for a nice walk around the neighborhood, take the stairs a few times at work, etc.
It’ll pass, don’t be frustrated!
