I am 9 weeks post-op and down 40 pounds and feeling pretty good. The last two weeks I have been stuck. I dipped to 298 pounds one day but have maintained 301.6 for two weeks straight! I am wanting to beat 300 so bad!! I am getting my Protein and getting 700-900 calories per day so I am not sure what the heck is going on. I have been going to the gym and doing cardio and light weights for about 4 weeks now. I was hoping it was just Water retention, but for two weeks straight? What have you done to beat multiple week stalls?

Have you been hitting your Water goals? Someone your height should be around 120 oz. I increased mine to about that much and have been constantly losing and haven't had much of a stall since. It also helps to eat more carbs than usual one day to surprise your metabolism. Works for me and may work for you!

EDIT: You may also be burning more calories than what you are eating; this will mostly cause a stall as well.

I am hitting my Water goal (64 oz) but I will increase it and see what happens. I do drink more when I am at the gym, usually 32-40 oz while there plus what I have during the day. I have considered eating more calories because of the cardio burning more but have yet to do that experiment. Thank you for your tips!
