Hello, everyone. This is my first post. I'm aware that stalls occur, however, I am just starting my seventh week after gastric bypass surgery on October 20, 2015. Two weeks after my surgery I stalled at 352 pounds. It took me two weeks to lose down to 348, and today when I got on the scale I weigh 351. So basically for the last month what little I've lost i've gained right back. I've been monitoring my food intake and I have not eaten more than 800 cal each day. I've gotten in most of my protein but not close to all of my water. Could you please analyze what's going on here? I started my liquid diet pre-op on October 8 at 385 pounds and I was 372 pounds on my surgery date if that helps. Thank you for your time.

Thank you - haven't heard of the Syntrax but I did recently break down and buy some flavorings for my Water and it has significantly helped my intake. I'm not a fan of aspartame but at this point, it's the lesser of the evils.

Thank you everyone for your input and concern. I did a 45 minute walk last night and was back down to 348 this morning. I know I'm not getting in 8 glasses of Water each day but I'm getting 60-70g of protien at a minimum. I'm not having any problems eating meat, avoiding breads/pastas, and am carefully watching my calories. No sodas or sugary drinks either. I'm getting an average of 5-6 glasses of water in, that's about all I can force down at the moment. Hopefully the key is increasing exercise! I know this stall topic is worn to death, but it truly is a comfort to have responses anyway.

Thank you for the responses and encouragement. For some reason, I have zero tolerance for artificial sweeteners right now so I haven't been drinking the protien shakes. Instead I've been eating beef Jerky to get in my protien. I've been good about no drinks other than Water. Veggies give me terrible gas but I've been able to eat fruit without issue. I also eat lean grilled steak, hamburger, turkey burger, chicken, etc. I know some of it is probably water weight but if I'm screwing something up I want to fix it as soon as possible. I drink only water, maybe 4-6 glasses a day. That's all I can force down. I haven't been terribly active but I do go to the gym at least three times a week for about 30 minutes. Walking and some strength machines. I have a knee trying to go out on me so I'm babying it.
