Today is my 8 month anniversary and I'm stuck at -81. What am I doing wrong?? I feel like I should've lost more.

What is "stuck" to you? A month, a week, a day at the same weight?.

Have you been in touch with your surgeon and nutritionist for advice? Your post doesn't include where you started at and how much you have to lose, so it pretty hard to say if that is normal or way off from where you might be expected to be at 8 months out.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday.  I'll see if I can sneak in to see the nutritionist.

I'm 7 months out at stuck at -82.  I've had a couple of seriously long plateaus, so I'm assuming it'll end.  I hear that a lot of people go through this.  I've upped my protein intake, but I'm noticing that as time goes on we're able to eat more, which is good because we need the nutrition.  Our bodies have to keep readjusting, so I'm just hanging in there and doing what I was told to do.  Yikes.

I'm in a slump too.   I don't have much of a dumping issue so learning the right balance of carbs has been a little tough this month.  I adjusted MFP ratios, recommitting to tracking everyday, and starting training for a mini-marathon.   The scale should budge soon!
