Stuck at 20 lb loss for the past five days, what's up

[Guest guest]

I am about 18 days out and am down 20 lbs - since day 13. So, for the past five

days I've been at the same weight and the scale hasn't budged. What's going on?

It's been a consistent loss since surgery due to the reduced calories and the

liquid diet. I've heard about stalls, but didn't expect it to be this early.

The only thing I can think of is I have been constipated. I'm not clear how this

all works physiologically with full liquids (including dairy) and protein (in

form of drinks).

Anyone else experience this? I was thinking this was going to work for me since

it's been years since I've been able to lose 20 lbs. Now...I have had the

fleeting thought of " Oh great, not this again.... " . lol
