Ditto. Went five weeks. BUT I tried changing up my diet like the recommendations on this board. I upped my calories for a couple days. Went back to normal then did 2 days of liquids. Within two days I dropped 4 pounds all at once. Now I'm losing a pound every 4 - 5 days. It's worth a try.

ill be 3 months out on the 19th of feb. and i havent lost anything in 11 days. i have to say that ive been going over my calories a little and have cheated 3 times this week. that isnt helping. i want to tell you that when i was eating 800-1000 calories a day i wouldnt lose but when i started eating 1000-1200 calories a day i lost 6 lbs in one week. it was healthy calories with a few bad things but overall it was good. this week ive been stressed and have been eating bad calories all week including fast food once and some sweets. so look at what your eating. are you eating enough protein? ive heard that its normal to stand still at times. i have a friend who had the bypass and she didnt lose for one month.

I am five months post op and haven't lost a pound in almost 3 weeks. I also have a broken foot so exercising is out for me at least for a while. I'm willing to admit that I haven't been making stellar food choices (I think being depressed about my foot and sitting at home alone all day might be at fault) I haven't been out of contol with my eating either, I am sensible and don't over eat. I'm frustrated, I have already lost 50+ pounds and now-nothing...Any ideas about how to jump start losing again?

WHEN I HAD broke my ankle of course this was before my surgery and stuff but i had a full leg cast for 4 mos and i packed the weight on due to lack of excercise hang in there!

Congrats on the weight loss.

Well, my first instinct was to 'get an adjustment'. Seems like it's time.

You haven't mentioned weight gain...that's good news!

I gained a few pounds over the past few weeks.... Valentines Day I had 5 pieces of Russel Stovers chocolate and a Coke.

Yep, I lost 3 pounds! Crazy as it sounds, time to time I will eat a Krispey Kreme donught and sodapop or some chocolate...just a tad. That seems to get the weight off me.

You can try it...if it works...you'll know to do this a few times a year. If you gain....don't do it ever again! :wub:
