Is a month and half stall normal!

[stellabug321 51]

I've been on a stall for the last month and half I've been the same weight now which seems to be over a month!

I gained 5 lbs but lost it a week later and have not lost anything since! I don't know what I'm doing wrong and seriously starting to get super frustrated!

I drink Proteins, eat proteins and don't do that many carbs!

I exercise regularly and I just don't get it! Is this it?

Same here, I had surgery on June 6 and I am in a 4 weeks stall. I am happy with my weight lost, but I can't wait to lose my last 20 pounds.

I did the 5 day pouch test and i my stall(3 weeks then) dud break but like a week and a half later so I'm not sure the two are related. The best thing that resulted is that I don't have the carb cravings/head hunger much any more. Having said this I think I would do lil miss diva's bootcamp next time. It just seems more like how we are supposed to eat post-op anyhow. Even though I hate drinking Water it is probably the best weightloss tool for me post-op. I see much bigger losses when I up multiple intake. Good luck. Hang in there a bit longer!

Hi

At 5 and avhalf months out,after dropping weight fast,I had a 7 week stall.My first if I remember correctly.

After that I would drop up to 10 pounds in 5 days and then stall for 3 weeks or so then drop a lot fast then stall.

I have about 20 pounds to lose to get to my personal goal and I have upped my fats recently but still low carb (30 most days 40 some days) I do count calories and carbs.

Since upping my fats I seem to be losing steadily with only about 7 days between drops that of course are now smaller,average about 7-8 pounds a month still though.

Bad with Water,I drink loads of tea with milk.Sporadic with exercise,either too much or too little...lol

What is important is to keep tracking and keep plugging along every day.This is not the end.Your body is taking time to readjust and you will lose,just not the way you thought you would but the way your body wants.

Dont lose heart.Let us know when the scale moves again ok?

Thanks ladies, maybe ill just keep on doing what I a doing and just eating my Proteins and drinking them, I don't really think I've paid attention to the carbs in my shakes so I best get on that!

I will just get my but in gear and try and see what works, I better just up the Water cause I really feel like I'm not doing to much wrong but then again, who knows! All of new stomachs are different!

Geesh and your right I guess I thought this would just fall off and it doesn't! So out comes the hard work:)

Thank you for your encouragement!

Aside from the above Protein and Water increase exercises ( both excellent suggestions), have you tried really kicking up your exercise, if only for one session? Maybe bust out a personal best when doing an extra set of weights to fatigue, running a mile, climb that really tough hike, row that extra 1000 meters in record time or walking that extra 15 minutes at a brisk pace. It does not really matter what it is you do, as long as you are a little more tired, sore or winded when you are done. Forcing your body to admit it is struggling during exercise is an excellent stall buster ( from experience). Try it and I bet you will like the results!

I was stalled for 6 weeks then increased my calories, went to a gallon of Water a day and raised my carbs for a week. I lost 4 the next week and 3 the Next. My body was in starvation mode and was holding onto everything. You might need an increase
