Hi Kelly,
Take heart, plateaus are quite common. I am
almost 6 months out (and down 75 lbs.) and had one at 3 weeks that lasted until week 7. I
was frantic! I just made sure I was eating right and got myself in gear to increase my
exercise and the scale finally started moving again. If you have just started exercising,
you may be increasing muscle, which weighs more than fat. My best advice is to get off the scale and get out your tape measure. I think sometimes
your body just has to "rest" and rearrange itself. And don't forget, you are recovering
from MAJOR surgery. So be patient with it and don't beat yourself up over this plateau.
Just make sure you're getting in lots of protein, cut back on the carbs. Best Wishes!
