What's the Longest Stall You've Experienced?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!!! I was sleeved June 18, 2013. My surgery weight was. 365. Post op month 1, I was down to 335. Post-op month 2, 305. Post-op month 280. I've been doing everything as far as eating and exercising by the book, but the scale has not moved in the past 2 1/2 weeks. I consume about 800 calories, 60-80 grams of Protein and a very small amount of carbs daily. I have even increased the intensity of my workout regime. What do you all suggest I do?

But did you take your measurements? I was not losing any pounds, but lost another 3 inches overall!

Be careful , the scale can be your friend, or enemy. My doc suggested I weigh only once a month.. Hide the scale. Your body is going through transition and we should not expect huge losses all the time.,if u are following the eating protocol and exercising , The pounds lost will eventually show on the scale..yes, measuring yourself is also a good indication u r making progress. Think of this way, slow and sure wins the race.

I really hope I'm losing inches b/c the scale isn't moving! I started this journey at 292.5, now almost 4 wks post op I've been stuck at 256.5 for a week now. Have to keep reading these posts to remind myself it happens. So frustrated!

Thanks for all of your advice. I hadn't measured myself since post op month 2, so I'll definitely start keeping up with my measurements.

I just got out of a 3 week long stall that has been my longest one. I am 4 months out. It was horrible. I thought I was done losing weight but I am not. I have lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days. It just takes time. U just have to wait it out.

You and I were sleeved on the exact same day. You have lost 85 pounds in 3 months!!! That is FREAK'N AMAZING!!! I have lost 47 pounds in the same period. I am currently in a stall and actually gained 2 pounds in this week's weigh in. I am not worried. It's a stall. If you've read enough of these posts, you know that stalls happen. Don't fret. There are many reasons for stalls--water weight, backed up plumbing, monthly cycle, etc. You're doing great. Keep doing what you're suppose to be doing and the weight WILL continue to come off as soon as your body is ready.

The longest stall I've experienced last about 3 1/2 weeks. It was three months after my surgery and I was so discouraged and thought that I would not lose any more weight. Finaly it broke, and now I'm just under 5 months out and have lost 60 pounds.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
