The Infamous Stall...

[Curvy Girl 140]

I was sleeved Aug 24th. Started at 346 lbs...preop diet brought me down to 331 lbs day of surgery. Middle of week two I was down to 317 lbs. Today I am 320 lbs. Isn't that lovely?

And that's where I've been all week. I knew this would happen. I just didn't think it would happen so fast. I will just keep on keeping on and pray that the scale starts to move. I am eating anywhere from 400 - 600 calories a day. It is just funny to me how I KNOW I'm stalling because of my body and I know there's nothing I'm doing wrong but those thoughts rush in my head "All this I've just gone through and NO LOSS" or "Maybe I'm the one person who the sleeve will fail" LOL....

And I just love the "how much have you lost?" every five minutes question from people at work. And when I say nothing this week I get the SHOCKED look LOL.

Well WISH ME LUCK!!!! and I'd love to hear your experiences with the "STALL"

Hang in there, I stalled at 48 lbs for 2 weeks and now at 58 pounds...I think it's normal. I helped me to realize this isn't supposed to be an 'overnight' fix, but a journey to getting to a healthy weight and learning new sustainable habits...try to just plan on it taking a year and enjoy the small changes in your day to day life. Just some thoughts that help me, I was sleeved on June 4th.. Good luck with your journey!

I was sleeved on the 8/23, I have been stalled also and up a few pounds. Im just gonna keep pushing through, trying to increase Water and Protein intake and see if that helps. Hang in there

I stalled right out of the hospital! I had lost 30+ pounds pre-op and my body decided nope, not letting any more weight go! I refused to panic because I knew from stories on here that eventually the scale & inches would move downwards.

I was sleeved 3 weeks ago today and I'm slowly losing weight as of Sunday.

Stalls happen... I had a 4 week stall! Just up your Fluid intake & exercise a little more... I do a little extra walking or get on my exercise bike a little longer. I'm 10&1/2 months out!

Wow my story is almost exactly like yours!! I started at 346 and went to 330 from pre op diet. I had surgery on 8/20 and im stalled at 316... Kinda crazy. I feel the same way u do....but but look at how far we have come. We must both hang in there, I sure it will get better soon. Do u wotkout at all? I do weights and a lil cardio but im thinking of kicking it up a knotch.

Ditto all of the above. I was dropping like crazy, slowed down and then in the past 2 weeks I've gained 2lbs. Brutal. I've upped my exercise and Water intake too. Grrrrr!

I dropped like crazy for the first few months then I started at the gym and stalled for 4 weeks, I dropped 30kg in no time at all but now I'm losing roughly 1/2 to 1kg a fortnight which is nice considering I've only got about 5kg to go until I reach my perfect BMI.

Stalls....ugh!!!! As i've posted on other threads, my stall was 10 wks long (at the 6 month mile marker!). It will pass.....some longer than others. Keep the faith!
