Just keep doing what you are doing and contact your doctor to have your blood levels checked. Have you been taking your Vitamins? Make sure you get enough food because sometimes too little will cause a stall. Good luck

Up your calorie intake. If you have been doing the same workout, change it up or make it harder. Drink lots of Water. Be patient. I just read a post where someone had been stalled and it turns out her body had been replacing her burned off fat cells with Water. Her body finally released the water and she dropped 20 lbs in like a day.

Anyways the top three things I said have helped me before.

Good luck!

My nutritionist upped my Protein to 100g a day, 2 fruits, 2 veggies and 2 good carbs. Told me to stop working out for 2 weeks and make sure I kept up on my Water. I broke my stall with a 9 lb loss....sometimes your body just needs a break! I am 9 months out and I am down 135.2 and at now below my goal weight! :). I love my nutritionist!!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
