1 mon post op and already hit a plateau????
I found it hard to eat as much protein as I should (includes drinking them) initially so turned to some carbs that felt so much better in my new stomach. I lost 18lbs in the first 3 weeks and nothing the last one week! Am I being too impatient? I've since been able to eat/drink more protein, but finding it hard to give up the carbs (all over again!)
Soft foods can be very carby, also high in salt. I had a weekend, two or three weeks out, where I gained four pounds from Friday to Monday!
There is a notorious three week stall. Just keep drinking water, get as much protein as you can, walk, and your body will catch up. Hang in there!

Open yourself to possibility and possibility will present itself.
My stall lasted 9 days. I had a 2 lb gain too. Since then I'm down those 2 + 5 more. This too shall pass. Keep your eyes on the road ahead and not on your feet hitting the scale.
