Change your routine, change your diet? Are you exercising? If not, add some brisk walks. I was also told if you are eating the same thing every day, that you should switch up your menu.

Just some thoughts, hope they help. I hate when the scales get stuck!

Same suggestions as Sunshine. Ensure that you are drinking lots of Water throughout the day, change up your menu and EXERCISE!

Sometimes if you adjust your calories by 100 - 200 less per day for a week or two that will give the scale a kick.

When my scale sticks, I go on shakes for a couple of days. That will sometimes jump start. My system likes the shock of liquid or increased work outs. The scale won't move that day but a few days later I'll see a drop.

Hell, as long as it's not going up I can't complain too much!

The dietician at my surgeon's office recommends NOT taking in the same amount of calories a day. Try doing 800 calories one day, 1200 the next, and 1000 the third. Also, make sure you're varying the protein... fish seems to work better than beef.

Yep, these guys know the tricks. You've got to shake things up. I'm not sure about liquids for a few days but it might work. Otherwise, changing your calories and especially changing your exercise routine will usually snap me out of a slump. Your body gets used to what you've been doing and starts to get lazy about burning calories. When you suddenly throw something out of the ordinary at it then usually your body will wake up and start paying attention again! Good luck and hang in there...you'll get things going again soon!

My weight watchers instructor has said many times that we need to look at our food pyramid and make sure that we are balancing out everything. It could be just a matter of too little or a little to much of a fat. Sometimes not eating enough food can stall the weight loss. shake it up and journel what you are eating to see if there is a pattern. Good luck!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
