I had weight loss surgery in September 2021, work out 5-6 times a week, track all my food, hit my protein goals, and the scale fluctuates by 5-7 lbs. I have hit a plateau and want to know if there are any tips to break it. I have no hormonal problems, eat clean with no sugar and low carbs, aim for 70-100 grams of protein daily, and eat three meals a day with 2-3 snacks (yogurt, cheese sticks, almonds, cashews, or pecans). I am a 28-year-old female with no medical conditions.

I have no pain or trouble swallowing, but my throat feels swollen and it feels swollen when I swallow. How long have you had the swelling? How large is the affected area? Is your throat painful or tender? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the swelling or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
