Question:
Is 8 weeks post op and about 40-45 lbs. lost too early for a plateau?

This happened to me at about 45 pounds of weight loss and I was freaking out. My MD said to make SURE you are getting at the very least 64oz of water a day. He also said that sometimes our bodies slow down and say hey what is going on here I have dropped 45 pounds in 2 months!!!(That is Phenomenal)if you think about it, another reason may be if this is a weight you were at for along time your body is comfortable there and it's saying, "I kinda like it here, I am not going anywhere. Don't worry, it will pass if you are doing your part.

There are several people who have hit plateaus at 7 and 8 weeks. I did! Lasted 2 weeks, but then the weight began dropping again! these lateaus are giving your body the time to adjust to the new weight and body changes. Don't get discouraged!!! Keep the faith!
