another day

Well it is 3 weeks now and no loss for me the scale seems to go and down 2-3 lbs.  I am getting all my protein, water and exercising as much as I can even wt training.  I know the dr said things would slow but damn so soon I am only coming up on 5 mos post op not what I had expected.  I seem to be craving salty things and a friend of mine says maybe it is a mineral I am lacking not sure.  I have been eating pickles with everything so I wonder if I culd be reataining water.
