Denn 66 Posted May 24, 2013 I think I've hit my first stall. I'm not discouraged or upset but would like tips and/or links as to how to start losing again. Any advice is appreciated. I am drinking well and getting in about 45-55 grams of Protein in but I'm still on puréed foods and not sure what to do? Oh yeah, and about 350-500 calories a day without subtracting my walks.

Sleevedintx 39 Posted May 24, 2013 Just keep doing what you are doing your body is playing catch up. Take your measurements as my might lose inches when the pounds level off. It will pick up again. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fp9107 121 Posted May 24, 2013 You might try upping the Protein some and see if that gets the scale moving. This usually works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanda 8 Posted May 24, 2013 My sleeve surgery was back in Jan. of this year.... this won't be your only stall. My biggest stall was about a month ago and it lasted about a week and a half. It's not bad to have stalls... your body needs time to catch up to all the weight lose. Don't let a stall make you upset either (my first didn't bother me it was the ones after that did). Just keep doing what you are doing and you'll be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted May 24, 2013 Your brain calls it a stall because of the concept of time. Your body doesn't care about time. It does it's job. It always works for it's own benefit no matter what the conscious brain thinks. The intelligence is built in. The best we can do is follow the guidelines and get tips which is what you are doing. Water, exercise, Fiber, Protein, enough calories are all helpful when you can get them. 1 kimmysmash reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimmysmash 2 Posted May 24, 2013 I am right there with you! It can drive you mad Sleeved 04/30, on the pureed stage and have been stalled for over three weeks now. I have quit weighing myself cause it was just pissing me off and just focus on getting my Protein and Water in. Something has gotta give eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthatjazz4u 204 Posted May 24, 2013 My only advice is to stop calling it a stall...we aren't going to lose every day or every week. If that was the case we would all lose 365 lbs in a year. I personally don't believe in stalls. Just keep doing what you're suppose to do and the weight will come off. Don't subject yourself to the emotional rollercoaster of numbers on a scale. This is a lifetime marathon ...not a race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
