jsdatjsd 0 Posted July 20, 2011 SO I am down 18 lbs in 7 days, tanking up on Water and smoothies with the occasional foray into cottage cheese/mushed avocado/hummus. Am i doing it wrong? I can only eat about 1/2 to 1 cup of food at a time, the more liquidy it is the closer I can make it to a full cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people are really tight after surgery and through out your journey you will do that where you might loose steadily and then you might hit a plateau and then or loose all of sudden everybody's different but I know that's how I've done through out my journey!!
