1 month out and at a stall... HELP!!!
Hi everyone I had my surgery on 08/29/2011, I went from 255 to 220 and I’ve stalled for the last two weeks!!!! I’ve started working out at the gym and in two more weeks I’ll start the cardio classes. I drink my protein and I’m thinking about going back on liquids to see if that will help.
I don’t know what to do, HELP!!!
If you've read the boards for very long, then you know this is very normal. Take a deep breath, keep doing what you are doing and this too shall pass. You just lost 35 pounds in a short amount of time; your body needs a chance to catch up and figure things out.

Here's my standard answer to "pauses" that everyone calls a stall:
A stall is something that last 6 weeks or more. You are in a correction period.
Weight loss is like a teeter-totter....
On one side is pounds, the other inches....
If you stop going down on pounds, the inches will go down . Are you measuring?
Then the inches will slow and pounds will drop...
this is normal and NOT a stall, it's a correction period that your body uses to catch up.....

I agree I think it is your body adjusting. The surgery is a big shock and to have that much weight gone that fast your body is like whoa what is happening..lol
I was posting the same thing you are a few weeks ago and I just started back loosing. for me the weightloss is slower but as long as I see a difference I am good.
Don't worry it will be ok.

On my way!!
well I am 12 almost 13 days post op, hmmm my scale stayed the same yesterday and today. I hope I am not in a stall already, how depressing lol. I know they can happen and know to keep on my diet plan and it will change. I guess I will check again tomorrow and see if I am still at the 15 lbs weight loss since surgery then I am going to assume I hit the stall 
Pre op 6 lbs lost, M1 - 23 lbs M2 - 11 lbs M3 - 12 M4 - 6 M5 -10 M6 -10 M7 -7 M8 - 4 M9 - 4
M10- 4 M11 - 5 M12 - 0
I can handle the daily weigh ins for now, I hope it is just the introduction of the protein drinks back into my system. I couldn't get my little guy out for a walk today so will wait and see tomorrow. The heat was getting to me the last two days while walking. So I much switch that up to first thing in the morning, or last thing at night when my little guy is sleeping. That way I can move at a better pace and concentrate on myself.
