Stall Already ?!

[npruitt86 6]

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost for 10 days. I'm getting my Protein in and 700 cals a day and not losing. It's scaring me.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments on here! They are making me feel better.

Bump up your calories to 800-1000, see I that helps! I wasn't getting 800/day and that was my problem. Your body goes into starvation mode an starts taking from your muscle. So try that and see if it works! I lost another 4.5 pounds in a few days by doing that.

Thank you. I will try that. If I can eat that much. I think I can do 8 but not 1000.

Hey guys!

Don't compare yourself to other 'loser's'. We will all lose at different paces. I am about 4 1/2 months out and stalled yet again. Oh, and I GAIN! I have a 3 pound gain right now. I only lose about 10 per month after the first month or so. Yes I am a turtle. Yes I am frustrated. Yes I am silently panicking inside but I know it will come off. Well, it least it better!

Just keep doing what you are doing. I know I need more exercise right now. I had work travel last week and it threw me way off but back on the horse. Hang in there!!!

You newbies need to realize that your body is hanging onto every fat cell. Your body is in shock. You just continue following your nutritionist's guidelines and eventually your body will give up and the weight will drop. Do not let the scale get the best of you. It will drive you nuts. your all doing awesome. Hang in there.

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I am 7 weeks and no movement in scale for 3 weeks, but I pulled up my big girl panties and walked and hour briskly today!

I did the exact same things at 2 weeks. I stalled for 5 weeks. I was so frustrated and ready to scream. I had only lost 16lbs. I have now lost 12lbs in the last 2weeks. So now I am down 28lbs from my surgery weight. Just be patient and keep doing what you are suppose too. Eventually You will start losing again. Good Luck.

How long should a stall be, I've been stuck in one for 7 days now at only one month out from surgery. I am getting all of my Protein in now thanks to Protein 100, still struggling with my liquids only getting 40 ozs a day

Stalls are all different and it all depends on your body. Not every stall you have will be the same. They can last to a few days to weeks. Be patient even though its hard, keep doing exactly what your nut and doctors say and when your body is ready, you will start to lose weight again.

I will be 8 weeks out tomorrow and been at a stall for 5 weeks. It is so aggravating. I have lost 32 pounds in the first few weeks but nothing since

I'm about 4 weeks out. I lost the first week like crazy... Then stalled after the second for about 2 weeks. It wasn't truley a stall because I still dropped 3 to 4 clothe sizes but my scale didn't move .

I was so frustrated going thru the surgery and I wasn't experiencing this awesome weight loss like the other folks I read about on here.

Now at almost 3.5 to 4 weeks the lbs just started melting away. Literally like 2 lbs a day. Now I'm getting nervous cause I didn't want to lose that quick. LOL

Friday I will be 8 weeks out and I've only lost 25 pounds and I am really trying to follow everything to the tee. And I want to hurt the stupid scale. I am never hungry or thirsty and force myself to eat and drink. Just so I wouldn't stall and what do I go and do.

I'm the same way. I've been doing everything that I've been told and only 32 in 8 weeks.... I have to force myself to drink and eat also. I feel I've lost inches but I wanna loose more weight.
