last Tuesday I weighed in at 187 this week I weighed in at 189 what the hey..... I know I was told there would be stalls but I didn't realize there would be gains and so soon after surgery I will be 7 weeks post op on Friday:-( feeling a little discouraged pls pray for me.

Girl don't get discouraged we all have been there I know when it's that time of the month I get bloated and that happens but just increase Water intake and Protein and walking is a plus and you will get there !! Good luck

I could probably handle it of that was the reason but it's not :-( I do feel like I am retaining Water. I getting plenty of Protein it's my water intake I still have a hard time with :-(

I think a lot of people stall around the 5-7 week mark. I know I did. Don't get to discouraged. You will lose more soon.

I know how you feel, my stalls are worst.. In a week I'll lose about 2-3 lbs and then when I weight on recording it'll be the same from last week, it's frustrating but hang in there! You'll be fine!

Stalls are a natural part o this process. I think it's important to remember that they are not a BA thing. When I stall I go back to the basics. I look at my food diary and ensure I am not eating out and then I make sure I measure everything and increase exercise. I have had 2 stalls and it corrected both. Physiologically the stalls make sense as your body adjusts to your caloric intake and metabolic demands. Also remember that eatting salty foods for a few days causes retention of fluids, heck even hormones can cause great fluctuations in weight. Just try to relax and go back to the basics.

You will do awsome, don't panic.
