We may be able to tailor a response to you if you could provide more info.

What surgery did you have? How far post op are you? How long since surgery? How much weight have you lost since surgery? What is your current weight? Following your post op guidelines? What do you typically eat in a day? Drinking plenty of fluids? What exercise are you doing?

Generally stalls are pretty common and as long as you are following your post op guidelines the scales should catch up eventually.

I have a gastric sleeve. The surgery was last May 3. Since the surgery I lost 41 lbs. My current weight is 254. My highest weight was 316. I'm following my plan. I usually eat for Breakfast one egg and a little bit of cheese, for lunch chicken (2 or 3 onces) and the same for dinner. Last week I started to have a snack ( Pure Protein Bar). I used to drink Water and sugar free Vitamin water. I walk at least 4 times a week maybe 30-45 minutes. I do like Zumba, cardio hitt workouts.

Stalls happen. And you will likely experience a couple of them as you’re losing. They tend to last 1-3 weeks but some people do experience longer ones. They can be very frustrating. I thought of mine as my body taking a breath to catch up with all the changes. It’s been going through a lot

Some people say increase your caloric intake, others say to up your activity. I never changed a thing & mine always broke.

Though this video from Dr Matt Weiner is in response to a stall when moving through the post surgical stages (the 3 week stall) it really applies to all stalls while we are losing. (The question is a little long.)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
