I lost 30 lbs in four weeks then five ponds in the last two weeks. I'm six weeks post surgery and I have hit a lag. I start exercises this weeks so I will see what happens. The main thing I don't like is the decrease of bowel movements. Advancing from full liquids to soft foods I expected better bowel activity. I think the body goes through a starvation period that holds onto all nutrition, which may feel like bloating. I'm still hanging in there with the diet plan but it gets hard with coworkers, family lunches and dinners.
Hang in there guys. We can and will do this.
