Sounds like water retention. Try to get 80 to 100 oz of water per day and the scale will move.

It happens to most of us and it's called the 3 week stall. It's almost as if it has taken thus long for our bodies to realize that something has happened to it and it want's to hang on to everything. Have faith it will not last. Keep doing what you are doing and it'll work out.

Good Luck.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't.  Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened.  My Surgery was September 21/2010

Protein and water and the keys to breaking and avoiding stalls. Make sure your getting more than enough of both and you'll see the scale move again quickly. Good luck, hon.

I had a weight gain also, but was from stopping blood pressure meds that had a diuretic in it. Once dr put me on fluid pill i lost the gain plus some. Also had a 2 week stall. 😃
