Take a deep breath and keep following your program.  Your body is still trying to figure out what you did to it.   Lots of factors could be in play here including hormones. 

I had a 4 week stall at week 3 and at week 8 began to steadily lose - thought I was going to be the only one not to be successful with RNY.

 I'm 7 weeks out and so frustrated with the scale, I finally got down two and today when I weighed I was up 2, I know it's water retention likely but it just bugs me because I started working out this week, I'm consistent with min 60 g protein and keeping my carbs under 30, most times under 25 and still my weight is so sluggish coming off.  I am not expecting 15 pounds a week but a pound a week sometimes would be awesome. 

I don't know if I am going to be one of those that loses only one week a month of 10 or 12 pounds and then nothing for the rest of the month, but I'm just sort of blue...trying to keep my spirits up but it's difficult, because I'm following my program, I'm moving and yet..nadda or not much..

So all we can do is just keep on keeping on.  I didn't expect miracles but I did expect better results than 'dieting' gave me.

Stay off the scale! That was my advice from my surgeon and I have stuck to it ( for the most part). The scale can stress you out and some people even gain weight. I just follow my plan and trust that the weight is coming off.

Hope this help!

I am going through the same issues at 7 weeks out, but constantly reminding myself of everything the surgery center and the veterans on this forum keep saying. It will happen, we need to be patient and keep focused. I can't wait until we're the ones giving that same message to the "new" newbies...

Hang in there!

60-80g of protein
64oz of water/drink
