I stalled for 3 weeks, too. Had to re-evaluate what I was eating. My nut said I could eat carbs as long as I got my Protein, because I couldn't possibly eat enough in calories to not lose. But as soon as I cut out the carbs again, the stall broke. I think everyone is different. Maybe you have to bump up your calories or carbs to trick your body, then cut them out again? Most importantly, be patient and dont get discouraged. It's a learning process for every one of us.

Checking back in. Surgery day weight (12/13) 367, today 345. Down 22 since surgery, down 51 overall. I had been in a stall at 347 for all of 2013 but looks like it broke overnight as I lost 2 more finally. I am eating soft foods now. Tilapia loin was delicious and all protein! Deli meats and cheeses are so good after eating liquid and purée for the last month.

I spoke too soon, bounced back up a little the next day, remain frustratingly stalled. Gout has hit me hard today and I can't walk without crutches and I can't take my indocin NSAID. Super depressed, discouraged, and in excruciating pain.

Other people have posted about being allowed to take NSAIDs, my doctor doesn't allow it, but it seems to vary doctor to doctor. Maybe they'll make an exception since you're in pain. Don't worry about the stall and let it get you down. We all go through it. I also gained 2 lbs back, then lost them, gained and finally lost before finally stalling for 3 wks. It sounds like you need to focus more on treating the gout. Talk to your doc and see what he can do.

Sleeved 12/6 and have lost 45 so far Including my pre op diet... 35 pounds not including pre op diet. But I have hit a stall for about a week now. Ready for this stall to be over....but happy with my weight loss so far :-)

Sleeved 12/17 have only lost 19lbs and extremely discouraged. I have measured myself and have lost a total of 39inches. 15 inches just this week alone. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

RUN!!!! Run as if your new life depended on it!! J/k try something new. Im going to do kickboxing which groupon has been featuring for a week. It looks fun and interesting. Like working out but not hating it. Good luck!

Don't pay attention to what everyone else is losing. It'll drive you nuts. We have our own journey to travel on. And BTW, I was sleeved 12/5 and have only lost 20. But I'm ok with that. I figure averaging 2-3 lbs a week is very healthy!

I want to start running but was not given the ok by my doc they said 6 weeks post op I can then start working out. :/

Will your doctor clear you to walk? Mine had me walking the day of surgery... and every day since... back to strength training after 6 wks... I can't wait! I'm ready to sculpt this body into something fabulous!!
