For those experiencing a stall........

nagaraj · May 11, 2010

One of the reasons I joined this forum in Dec '09 after my VSG was to understand all about stalls and how to break them (live with them !). After almost 6 months I have realized that stalls are inevitable, they way they react is unpredictable but finally breakable. My longest stall was 9 weeks, not only was it a stall, I had actually gained weight.

To all friends who come here to seek answers on stall - you will win ! There are many NSVs also, I am fully off diabetes medication, sleep well (no snoring), walk and run 4 miles a day, trouser size down from 55 to 38, shirt from 46 to 42.

The best decision I ever made was to go for VSG. Keep the spirits high. The wonderful people of this forum helped me remain sane when confusion prevailed. Thank you all.

Congrats on the progress you have made!!! Your post let me know that I am not alone or losing my mind. I have been frozen on the scale for 4-5 weeks now. Fluctuating 2-3 pounds, but no real loss in over a month, but you have given me faith to try and be more patient.....thanks!
