destynee1 417 Posted December 8, 2012 2 weeks post op, I stalled for 3 weeks! I had lost 28lbs quickly and also went up 2 lbs and back down.. it just fluctuated for 3 weeks. I started to carb cycle lightly, and it began to finally move. There is a thread on fitness/nutrition area called Carb cycle solution. Worth a try.. doesn't work for everyone but it has worked for a lot.. myself included.. I really love it and plan to make it apart of my lifestyle.. I just changed it a bit to fit myself. I do no carb no carb, and higher carb. Hasn't let me down yet. Hope this helps. Good Luck to ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geology rocks 9 Posted December 8, 2012 I have been stuck at the same weight for about 8 weeks now. I had stopped journaling what I eat. When I resumed journaling, I realized that my calories were not too bad, but my food choices were getting a little (ok...a lot) heavy on the carbohydrates. I think this is what is causing me to stall. I am working on eliminating the carb "creep" (which probably was more like carb typhoon for me), but I am confident that this will help break this plateau. Have you tried looking very clsely at your diet? Maybe you are eating more or less of something like Fiber, carbs, Protein, etc. It doesn't seem to take much to cause a stall, but it also doesn't seem to take much to break one either! Remember... a lot of folks think there is a mental component in all of this, as well. BELIEVE that you will break the plateau and all of your efforts will be for the best! Best of luck!
