There is a stall subforum you should post this in.

"Don't sweat the stall stuff"

http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1102-dont-sweat-the-stall-stuff-new/

Or if you just do a search for "stall" you will find dozens of answers to your question already posted. My answer is throw the scale away, get in all your Protein and Water, follow your basic meal plan and go enjoy your new life.

Keep doing what you're supposed to do and it will pass with time.

I agree with everything Kindle said but I will add one more thing. Carbs, for me, are a killer for weight loss. As long as I stay under 50 or 60 carbs my weight will come down. When I have a day when my carbs are up around 80 or more the weight stops. When, at 6 weeks, I was told to raise my calorie intake from 800 to 1,000 the extra carbs came with that increase. I keep a food diary but I wasn't told to keep my carbs down. I had days when my carb count was 80 - 100. Very easy to do when you don't watch what the carb count is in your food. Thank goodness people talked about this issue & most people recommended 50 carbs per day. I started doing this & got thru my stall. If you aren't already doing a food diary, you should. Keeps me on track. I use MyFitnessPal & have been amazed at the foods listed on this app. Hopes this helps. 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? 🤷‍♀️
