I'm 5 mo out. Pre surgery weight was 222. I now weigh 182. Yay.......but I'm stuck! I've not lost any weight in a month. Any words of wisdom? I'm doing everything the same and exercising every day.

Thanks

Some stalls can last a long time. You need to shock your system. First make sure you are eating enough calories. If you have too few calories your body will cling on to fat instead of burning it. Then check to make sure you aren't eating too many carbs. Carbs will sabotage your weight loss. Finally, makes sure you are exercising because there are indeed people here who complain about weight loss stalls who do not do any exercise. Finally you can try to shock your system. One easy way is to eat lots of carbs for a couple of days and then go to no carbs. The sudden shock can break a stall. Keep in mind that you will experience all the withdrawals of going without carbs, such as headache, fatigue, feeling of faint, irritability, etc., until you reach ketosis. If you already consuming carbs then cut out all carbs right now. This works for me.

Thank you! I'll try shocking my system.

in addition to what everyone has said above me, try doing different exercises as well. Switching up your exercise routines can also shock your system and break your stall. good luck!

I have also hit several plateaus! Very common. I've gone a month only losing 2-4 pounds or staying steady. It's frustrating but weight comes off in waves. My doctor recommended doing a week of liquids again.
