so what did you do to break the stall?



Recommended Posts

Wish I knew too. I've been on a stall since moving to full liquid over a week ago. Before I was loosing good then it just stopped completely. I walk 2 miles every morning and have less then 400 or 500 calories each day. I work hard to get in all the Protein and feel like I sip all day long but the scales won't move. At first I tried to stay positive but some days I am so frustrated. This morning I was downright mad. To me the numbers just don't add up. If I only intake 400 calories and burn 250 calories working out and since I'm alive and breathing have to be burning even more calories....so whats up!! I should be melting right. Just goes to show how seriously messed up my metabolism is. I've read all the stall post and guess I know it is very common around 3 weeks...but somehow when I weigh I still want to stomp on the scales like the incredible hulk and smash them!!:angry:

I stalled at 3 weeks as well. And stayed there for two weeks of bouncing up and down on the same darn 3 pounds. I added in carbs, eating baked crackers and Peanut Butter. I also upped my Water consumption a bit from 64 oz to 80 oz a day. There was another TMI reason for the upped Water consumption, too. ;)

After two weeks, I suddenly dropped 7 pounds in two days, so I think that all helped. Mostly, I just made myself not worry about the stall. It doesn't help and anxiety makes me want to eat.

This article helps explain stalls- and should help a bit! Also, measure yourselves! When the stalls come you will find you are still getting smaller.

Interesting... I'm going to try adding more cals/fat through shredded cheese. We'll see if it works! Thanks for sharing the article!

I stalled at about 10 weeks out and I broke it by eating more and exercising less. I lost 5 lbs in 1 week! Now I'm stalled again...going on 3 weeks. So frustrating.

I added more calories and downed my carbs. Seems to be working.

Same here! I added cals and more fat and the scale is moving again, despite my TOM approaching! Banane55.gif

I almost doubled my calories yesterday and this morning, lost 2 lbs. That's crazy. I feel better today too, less tired and weak sure the calories helped with that. Can't believe a scamble egg with a little cheese would take all evening to eat. Couldn't even finish it but was nice to chew on food again.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
