I dont know weeks but my surgery was 4th July, you have done amazingly, gain can be many things. Stalls happen regularly for us all. :)

What are you eating and are you hitting Water goals?

It might mean nothing - just your body adjusting or retaining Water. But it would be useful to see if there was anything that changed in your diet or exercise routine.

I track food and a few times I have identified things that stall me. One of which was a Protein Powder switch.

Are you weighing yourself daily? My weight bounces around a lot so I only weigh weekly now. I'm almost 10 months out and I've been stalled for a month. I thought I lost 4 pounds but it turns out my scale was broken and it ended up dying. Stalls happen and they are frustrating but keep at the plan and get your fluids.

I’m stalled. I’ve been losing steady since before surgery which was 9/14. I’ve been stuck at 201!! I’m DYING TO SEE IT GO BELOW 200! And it won’t! Despite working out daily I’ve been here for 2 weeks. If I️ was t working out I️ would just say “well I’ll get to the gym!” But it’s not happening! I️ don’t eat much, guess none of us do, it’s annoying!

I'm 10 days from being 8mo. Post op and I was stalled at 155-158 for almost a month. I decided to try IF (intermittent fasting) for a week and it actually worked. I'm down to 152-153... My original GW was 160 so either way I made it and I'm so THANKFUL.....

Stalls /gains are a normal part of the flow. Evaluate your food and liquid intake as well as your activity. If nothing strikes you as the cause, consult your team (doctor, nutritionist, trainer). Oddly enough, many of my stalls were from not eating enough and/or not keeping hydrated. I also gain at least 2lbs right around the start of my cycle.

I am right there with you. Im basically in a stall. If I’m lucky I lose 1 lb a week but I do heavy workouts 5-7 days a week so I do know I’m gaining muscle and replacing the fact. However, I’m around 206 and dying to be under 200! My first goal weight is 180 but right now under 200 would make me happy. BMI is 32. I need it at or under 30 to get a hernia repair. Come on weight, go away!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
