How are you out from surgery? Are you following your plan that was laid out by your doctor?

I will tell you the basic things -

Make sure you are getting enough Water and Protein in. These are probably the 2 most important things you can do. How many calories are you eating on a daily basis? What sort of food are you eating? Knowing those things will help figure it out. Also, are you exercising?

Otherwise... I will tell you that I just got off of a 2 month stall. I was sitting at 169/170 no matter what I did I couldn't drop a single pound. Then one day boom! I woke up to 165. Since I go back and forth between 165 and 167 but I seem to be sitting at a stall again for the past week.

Stalls happen, you can't prevent them or control them. It's your bodys way of catching up to what is going on with you.

Any time I am in a stall I usually just up the amount of work I am doing in the gym. For example I will up the speed I am doing on the treadmill or increase the number of laps I swim per day. recently I just caught that cruddy flu bug going around and lost 7 pounds although that is not a way I would recommend.

We need more info on your current nutrition and activity level before we can offer any sound advice.

Kranky813@ I'm 6 months out and I'm taking a look at my food log I know I've incorporated some carbs. My thing was chips for a short time because I would throw up everything just about. That was the one thing I could keep down. I can't tolerate any types of bread. Some days it hard to get the Protein in with out a shake. I'm going to go buy a case of shakes today to help with protein intake. I do walk daily.

Just follow your program.

Are you tracking your food?

Are you getting AT LEAST 64 oz of Fluid a day?

Are you reaching your Protein target every day? What is your protein target?

Are you avoiding starches, added sugars, and fried foods?

Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Are you exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT about your concerns? What did he only she advise?

Without more information it is hard for us to offer suggestions.

Embrace the Stall!
