I'm about 2 months out of surgery and seem to have come to a stand still with my weight loss. I've been the same weight for about 2 weeks and am following the diet very strictly.

Any suggestions?

Increase your exercise! It has always worked for me!

Stalls happen, and they are not only completely normal but necessary! I finally just broke out of a 5-week stall myself. It stinks, but sometimes your body needs a break from this intense, rapid weight loss.

I stall every month, sometimes twice a month, for weeks at a time. And yet, I'm 7 months out and have lost 125 pounds since surgery. You will get there, and don't torture yourself worrying about it until then. It all balances out in the end.

By the way, increasing exercise unfortunately never helped me. Neither did decreasing exercise, increasing calories, decreasing calories, increasing my Water intake (though my skin and hair felt so much healthier after I started that) or any combo thereof. It's not something most people can control.

As they often say around here, and very rightly so: "embrace the stall!" And don't sweat it, just focus on your Protein, water, and Vitamins, and your good health and weight loss will follow.
