Ok I need reassurance. Very frustrated. Long stall

[gustavio 439]

Ok embrace the stall, done It. Been reassuring myself daily for the last, ohhhhh I dunno, 3 weeks? I went on a work trip the 25-28 of last month and gained 2 lbs. I don't know how, I ate right and didn't drink with even though everyone else did. But the worst part is that I haven't lost a single pound since!!! I am only 2.5 months post op! This should be my honeymoon period right? Someone tell me their story or similar experience. I need to hear some good news so I can have some reassurance that I'm not stuck at this weight forever. I know it's ridiculous to think that like but I'm sure everyone has had their discouraging and depressed days throughout this journey and just needed a little reassurance.

P.s when I left for my trip I was 3 lbs from ONEderland. So I fully expected to be under 200 when I came home. I about cried when my scale said 205. I DID cry this morning when my scale, once again said 205.

I'm at 2 months and also have stalled for approximately 2 weeks. Everyone has told me that it's normal. So whT I finally had to do for myself is stop the weighing everyday because I am obsessive with that. But also just had to tell myself that as long as I'm doing everything right it will come. Also I noticed I'm losing inches rather than pounds. Good luck

Everytime I have traveled I gained weight. Didn't matter when I did road trips or flew. Even going to Vegas and walking forever each day. That is how my body works evidently. Takes me another week to get those off and then I can go down a little more until the next stall. I gave up my frustration because I don't need to add additional stress. We can only control what and how we eat and the exercise we chose. The way your body is going to release lbs is not something you can control.

Are you taking measurements? When I'm losing I'm not dropping inches. When I'm stalled the inches are dropping. I've been doing arm and ab exercises a lot this week and my biceps and waist are up slightly from last week but I lost almost 4 inches total everywhere else. My weight loss was sudden today, I was down 3 pounds out of nowhere. I triple checked it to confirm.

I have not been taking measurements, however, my clothing fits the same so I assume I'm not losing inches either. Idk

I wonder what the cause is??? I will have to say no to business trips if that's the case. Lol.

Curious as to how you're going? Did your stall finally break?

I'm 7 weeks post op and I've been stalled for 4 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me it'll start to come off again but I'm beginning to doubt it will. Tell me some good news.

Travel can really mess with you. It can cause Constipation. Or some people don't drink enough Water when they travel. Or all the food you eat is more salty than usual because it's restaurant or packaged food.

If you are sticking to your plan, the scale will move again. I promise you! I know it's frustrating. Hang in there and keep to it and it will happen. You won't be stalled forever.
