Have you tried walking an additional 10-15 min a day? From what I read it goes a long way.

Hi! I am stalled too. I was taken off my diuretic And GAINED 5 lbs. I am 5 weeks out. It is really upsetting!

Same boat here - op was July 7. It's so upsetting!!! But just have to persist

My surgery was 7/11 and I hit a stall at 2 weeks post op and have only lost 14lbs my start weight was 200lbs so a little on the smaller side, I didn't dry my expectations to high but I did expect to see a few lbs loss per week! It was suggested to me to measure myself to see if I'm loosing inches instead of bothering with the scale and driving myself mad, so I had my husband hide the scale and I will not get on it for 2 weeks, I'm just going to focus on getting in my protein/fluids and work out and pray for a loss in 2 weeks! Don't be discouraged good luck

[emoji22] You'll need to increase fluids - and avoid sodium. Keep an eye your BP too.

Sitting in a stall as well! I was 7/27. Trying to make sure to get my Water and Protein in. Apparently it's totally normal and keep reminding myself that (whether it's working or not is a different story!)

When I hit my first stall, I started my 10,000 steps a day and it moved the scale again. I am now an official Mall walker...come rain or shine.

The first stall lasted 5 weeks. I was beyond frustrated even though everyone in here suggested I be patient. The second one lasted a week and because my blender broke and I stopped taking my Protein. Three days after I started taking my Protein again, I started losing again.

I can and I will.
