I am 25 days post op and haven't lost a pound in 12 days. I need suggestions on how to break a stall. I do remember reading a website that provided a 4 day guide to breaking a weight loss stall, but I can't find it anymore. Thanks for your help!

FYI - I get 700-900 calories each day, 50-70 grams of Protein, low carbs, I walk 3 miles 5 days a week and I'm stuck at 299 (315 on SD)

I was told two things: 1st your body goes into a stravation mode at about 3 weeks when it realizes that it's not getting as much calories as it is used to. 2nd that males need to try to achieve 80-100 grams of Protein and 64 oz of liquid per day especially early on. Watch what type of carbs you are having, soft carbs such as mashed potatoes and soft Pasta of not good especially as early as you are out. My NUT told me you will experience stalls and just to keep the protein,fluids and exercise up and you will break thru. If it continues I would call and ask some questions. Good Luck

Repeat after me: "this stall will pass". Keep repeating it. Seriously, all stalls will break on their own. You will wake up morning and say "holy crap...I lost 3 lbs last night". And then the cycle continues over and over again. Better get used to it.

Yup, what Fiddlerman said. My 6.5 week stall just broke. I was stuck at 205-210 for 6.5 weeks then BAM!!!! I went from 207 to 198 in just a few days. Just keep the faith and keep following the program, it will end when it is ready.

I was so worried when I stopped losing weight after week 1. i stalled for almost 3 weeks :/ I tried everything humanly possible to break the stall and I dont believe it can be broke until your body decides to adjust. it just broke the lest few days and with in that short period of time i dropped 7 lbs. YAY, hang in there. It WILL happen for you!

I second SkinnieMinnie. You need to make sure you are drinking your Water. Try upping your water for a bit and see if that helps.

      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.
