Plateau
Hey, groupies, I need your input. I have a feeling that I'm at a plateau, but I just didn't think I would be there this early in the journey. I lost about 25 pounds really quickly after surgery, like everyone else does. At five weeks, when I was given the okay to eat "real" meats, i.e., chicken, beef, turkey, my weight loss slowed to about 3 lbs. a week. In fact, it seems as though my whole digestive tract has slowed.
I have been at 217 on the scale for about 9 or 10 days now and it's driving me nuts!
Have any of you been in a similar situation? I guess I just need to hear someone tell me that they've been there and that one day soon, the scale will drop!
Any information you can provide would be appreciated.
