Congratulations Dede! I know when I hit a rut I found it was the carbs that were doing me in. Back to meat and fruits and away from the carbs whether they're on my okay to eat list or not. Lisa

Hi Dede, You and I are about in the same boat. I also had my surgery on the 5th and in total have lost 33 lbs. 15 of that was prior to surgery, 15.5 was during the first 2 weeks and the last 2.5 lbs has been in the past week. I did talk to my nutritionist and she said that it was normal, that I am working on building lean muscle mass which weighs more than fat. Keep on working on getting the protein in, drinking plenty of water and exercising. I am sure that we will get out of this rut soon enough. Remember, it's for the long haul. Best wishes, Cele

Hey Dede, My name is Tracy and I am in my third week. I have lost 30lbs which almost all of that was lost in the first 2 weeks. I haven't lost hardly anything in this third week. I am happy to hear that I am not the only person that is having problems now. Not that I want anyone else to have problems. I was just wondering if I was doing the wrong thing or eating the wrong thing. I will just keep my eye on it and see what happens. If you need to talk email me at [email protected] Take Care, Tracy
