Hello-
I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. My surgery was June 26 - and originally I was doing really well- I lost about 45 pounds very rapidly. And, trust me, I'm not complaining. But for about two or three weeks now I've been stuck at the same weight. Sometimes it creeps up a pound, sometimes down one. But I can't seem to move the scale.
I've started walking more rapidly than I was before. Unfortunately, I can't get to the gym until next month when school starts.
My protein falls between 50-70 grams. I am trying to get mostly protein in as well as some veggies. Please tell me, is this plateau normal? How can I break it??

Sounds like you're doing fine. You don't lose every day or every week. You may even gain at some point, which is completely normal. If it bothers you that much, I'd weigh only once a week or once a month.

I just came off a 2 week stall.  It can be very frustrating, but like I just told another poster a minute ago, STAY THE COURSE AND KEEP THE FAITH!!!    Boost your protein and are you drinking enough water?

Thanks for your advice! I'm not sure I'm drinking enough water. It's hard to measure because I keep adding ice to my water - I have to have it ice cold. So I think I am because I look at the color  of my urine, but I'm not actually measuring. I will need to make more of an effort.
Thanks for the encouragement! Hopefully this stall will end soon.
