Is This Long Of Stall Normal?



Recommended Posts

I am just now 6 months. I have been in the 18os for over 2 months now. I have been going up and down the same 3 lbs for atleast 5-6 weeks. Has anyone stalled this long? I think that I may be at a point that my body won't let go of anymore of my weight. I'm curious to know how long you guys have stalled?

Yes this was what happened to me, I stayed at 180-185 for around 3 months. I had to fight my way out of the 180's. I am now at 175 maybe 174 today.

I am 4.5 mos out, and stalled for about a month ( at 3.5 mos out) at 172!!!!! arrgggh!!!! It just sucked and felt like I was never getting out of that number! however... I started losing FAST again and am at 157 today! :) So I guess its normal. just eat and do what you're supposed to. good luck!

I have been in the 180s since May/June, but I am progressively getting lower. I am now staying close to 181. I upped my calories for a bit and now I'm taking in less calories again and am showing a weight loss again. I hope to get into the 170s soon.

So glad i read this post I have been at a stall for 3 months. I'm very frustrated and aggravated. I'm trying to add more exercise. I weigh myself everyday I'm sure that's not best thing to do. Very disappointed.

I stalled for six weeks near the beginning. I had to take measures to get it moving. I was following directions To the letter but, When I shaved off some carbs and increased my cardio, It all started going down again.

Yes, I've been in the 230's for over 2 months. Just keep swimming!

Oh yeah, but I have been shrinking though, so all is well.

You have to get your Water in too.

I'm so glad Ms. April Dawn that you were able to see 179 yesterday. :)

I saw 179.4 on my scale today! I had been in the 180s for months, and I am sure I'm not completely done with them, but I am seeing 179, and the stall is over. :)

It will happen, SmileCharmer. Keep on going.

Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I last posted this and I only stayed at 179 for a day. I'm still at 181 and I can't get the scale to budge only one pound up or down. I'm trying to realize that if this it and I can't lose anymore I should be happy although it's still very discouraging! Maybe I shouldn't have introduced carbs into my diet but I work out everyday and I find it hard to keep a balance. When I work out I'm definately hungrier and it's harder to control my apetite.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
