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!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
