I've stalled as well. I'm 4 1/2 months out and been stuck between 211 - 213. So now I'm trying "Bootcamp" and see how that works for me.

I know it's going to sound crazy, but for the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) eat foods you wouldn't eat. Like if you go out to a restraunt get some Protein (obviously) but make sure it's a little on the indulgent side. Like for me, we go to this seafood place and I get bacon wrapped shrip stuffed with cheese and that seems to do the trick! And don't worry about the content, sometimes your body needs some fat and carbs to help speed up the process! And it can't be that bad for you, considering I can only eat two and then I'm stuffed

Basically, on a Saturday and Sunday don't count calories and eat what you feel like...it always works for me :)

I'm on the same boat I am 3 months out at stuck around 195, I gain a pound and lose it like every other day! My nut told me to up my Protein and Water. I'm frustrated because I am in between jean sizes so they r falling off of me or way to tight! So frustrating! I have added little exercises at work like more stairs or lunges but with my school and work schedule I have little time to go to the gym :/

When I hit an "adjustment period" I take a deep breath, eat what I would ordinarily eat, work out at the gym as I would any other day, and give my body the time it needs to get ready for its next big weight loss period. Time cures all....managing to remain consistent during those non-weight-loss periods is the key for me. BTW...when I'm not dropping pounds is when I tend to lose the most inches. Its all good. :)

I was in a stall for more than a month so I up my Water to 6 16oz bottles a day plus my Protein Shake another 12oz of Fluid and if I work out I add 2 more water bottles and it sure did the trick cause I was going nutts almost giving up so check your water intake maybe thats all you need like me. Good luck!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
