I'm also a June 10th baby, and I've had two stalls so far, but I don't sweat it, I think it's my body and mind that still throw itself off from time to time, I don't do anything different, I stick to my plan, carbs at under 100 ( usually under 40) my calories under 500, and my Protein at 60-90g, the scale is not a good way to measure progress, there are so many variables even from morning to evening, it is a good tool to use maybe once a month for me, I have lost 85lbs since January, and 43lbs since surgery, I went from 388lbs to 303.5 this last week, but my weight loss is at 2.2 per week right now, I'm unfazed because I choose to look at the bigger picture, went from 58BMI to 44BMI, lost 10 waist sizes, gained at least 4-5lbs of muscle, meeting my goals at the gym, blood pressure, sugar, energy are great, I chose even before all this to use milestones, it is less stress and more reliable, I have 3 new ones already since I will hit 299lbs this month,

1. Get to 250lbs next

2. Buy some new clothes for work

3. Break my PB of 3 sets of arm curls @ 65lbs, by doing 5 sets @ 70-80lbs by December.........

Just use the forward momentum you've gained to keep moving forward

Well that 6lb weight loss didn't last very long, 3 days later I gained back 4 of those pounds. I have an appointment early Sept with my surgeon and I have got to get to the bottom of this. I'm working on 3 months post op and have never continually lost, not even 1lb a week like the doctor hoped for with me. I am beyond discouraged and am starting to feel like I had my first ever surgery for nothing. :/

@@Shustar, I'm in AZ as well where did you get your surgery done?

[Shustar 395]

I went to TJ. Great experience! You?

[lovemylukers 80]

I was done at Scottdale Shea, great team and overall great experience!

Could you possibly be close to your cycle amber? I gain about 3-4 lbs in Water weight around my cycle.

[AmberWarstler 14]

Well actually I hadn't had a cycle for a good 3yrs prior to my surgery due to birth control and since surgery it's been horrid. 3 weeks straight then I was good for about 2 weeks and I'm back at it again.

[shancanssleevejourney 74]

If I were a betting person @@AmberWarstler I would put money on it being cycle related and possibly a hormone issue.

[AmberWarstler 14]

I suppose I'll talk to my surgeon first, then if he refers me to my OB I'll go that way...it's frustrating that's forsure. Thank you for your insight.

I was sleeved 8/10 and have been stalled at 10 lbs since 1 week out. Proteins good, carbs good, need more Water, but frustrated.

[AmberWarstler 14]

That's just what it is too..Frustrating. not much you can do about it but wait it out.
