I am 8 months post op and have lost 130 pounds. I have been on a complete stall for almost a month and this morning I weighed only to find that I have gained 1.2 pounds. Has this happened to anyone? What do I do to get things going in the right direction again???

Around 8-9 months out, I started bouncing around.  I will go down to say 135 then up to 137 and bounce around there for a while, then go down again.  I have ended up losing 4-5 lbs a month but it can be irritating when you see the scale going up and down.  I've read others who do the same thing so don't worry.  In the long run, you go in the right direction, just bounce some in between the going down.

Be sure you are getting in around 100g of protein a day, keeping your fluids over 84oz, keeping your carbs low and you should be fine.

The further out we get, the more we can eat. Make sure you're not grazing. Count your calories to be sure they haven't crept up. Make sure you are getting some sort of exercise.

Journal your food for a week or 2... Be very honest and religous about it... do the same activities you have been doing and eat as though you have been. I am sure you will be able to find somewhere that you can improve on... Even if it's just exercising another 15 minutes a day.
