toriski1116 0 Posted May 7, 2013 Ok so tomorrow I am 1 month post op. I am getting frustrated. I have not dropped a pound in 2 1/2 weeks. I know everyone says this is a classic stall point. It just seems like forever!! Even though I know it's silly I can't help but think what if this doesn't work for me??? Any suggestions for getting through this would be greatly appreciated!

magpie30 187 Posted May 7, 2013 Stay off the scale for at least a week, more if you can stand it. Try to focus on other things, like how even though you haven't lost more weight, you haven't gained any either. Remind yourself that this is just temporary, no matter how it feels, and that it will end, and you will lose weight again. My first stall lasted nearly 4 weeks, i was so frustrated, but just kept reminding myself that it was normal, and healthy, and would end. Hang in there!! 1 T'snewstart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melissa130 135 Posted May 7, 2013 I agree with Water, water, and more water. I have not had any stalls yet. I usually lose 3 to 4 pounds per week- except for 1 week- where I will lose 1 pound. I am convinced it is because I drink 80 oz of water per day and I get 60 to 80 grams of Protein in everyday. And I walk. Being a female -the weeks you ovulate and get your monthly visit- will be when you "stall". This is just my opinion. 2 T'snewstart and makemyownluck reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debk21 17 Posted May 7, 2013 I promise you that everyone wonders that same thing when they hit that first dreaded stall. It will work. Trust your decision, trust your doctor and trust your peeps here. Have you tried measuring? Sometimes when the scale is not moving, the tape measurer is...let your body catch up with all these drastic changes and BAM, you'll start losing again. Keep your Water and Protein up and keep the faith! Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T'snewstart 251 Posted May 7, 2013 Well dang it is just hard.... I feel you! I have hit a couple of stalls along the way. What really helped me was I knew during the stall I was losing inches. I also had to remind myself that it took several years to put the weight on and will not come off overnight. Hang in there .... this stall will break!

buplee 556 Posted May 7, 2013 We have all been there and believe me the stall breaks. Mine lasted 2 weeks before it broke and I got back on track. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry about it. It will come off. Quit weighing yourself everyday and try to focus on other things, like getting in enough fluids and Protein. Maybe weigh yourself once a week.
