7 weeks post op today and down 38 pounds..I am happy about my progress..it's getting better and better. I am gaining more energy since starting my b12 and uped my calorie intake to about 500-600 daily ( I am hungry every 2 to 3 hours.) My average weight loss is 3 to 3 1/2 pounds a week so far. I started walking this week since gaining energy to do that! However I stalled in weight loss 1 week before my cycle which was last week and finally lost 1 pound today. has anyone experienced this type of stall and do you experience it every cycle? How many calories are you consuming daily?

The day I came home from surgery I started and gained 3 lbs after surgery. I was told attention hat point it was water gain becz of all the IV fluids. I lost a total of 30 lbs and stalled again 4 weeks after surgery and yes, it was that time of the month. My room mate tried to say it was water gain again becz I had gained a pound, of course I was not buying it. I stalled for just a bit over 2 weeks and back to loosing. I am not sure if it is related to that time of the month or just perfect timing.

Thanks! I will just wait and see I guess.. but the more I read here the more I find out stalls are common..unwanted but common...lol

I have been in a stall for 3.5 weeks now. But I know it will end and I will start losing again. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine.
