Ms. Mandy 14 Posted April 17, 2013 When is the second stall for weight loss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted April 17, 2013 different for everyone... including the 3rd, 4th, 5th and ...... stalls...... there are so many stalls on this crazy journey. Measure yourself and watch the inches drop so you arent obsessing with the numbers on the scale. Something I wish I had done but sadly didnt... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kisersassy 369 Posted April 17, 2013 I lost 11 pounds in the pre op liquid diet week before surgery and 76 since surgery for a total of 87 pounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilBoo007 491 Posted April 17, 2013 I'm starting to think I'm on that trend too!!! I loose 10-15lbs then stall for a week or two then loose another 10-15 lbs then stall!! But I'm still happy I'm loosing my weight and have been reassured its normal ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine413 343 Posted April 18, 2013 I'm like kisersassy...I'm 6 months out and I too stall two weeks each month. This is when I lose inches. I drop numbers for two weeks and then inches for two weeks. I'm down 90#. I keep a journal. It's easier to identify the patterns and shut that inner pessimest up!! Keep going!! 1 Marisela reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heather200202 73 Posted April 18, 2013 I too usually stall out a couple weeks out of a month. I'm almost 5 months post op. I've noticed though I will drop inches and usually a size in clothing during that time. The stalls don't bother me anymore. That's when I know I need to buy a new pair of jeans Highest Weight: 331 Surgery Date: 11/26/12 319lbs Current Weight: 232 04/13/13 Goal Weight: 157 1 sunshine413 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have only had one stall a months or so after surgery but I'm pretty sure I am on my way to the second one. I am about 5 months post op. I know it's normal but always scary!!

For me, my inner pessimist will say, "Oh, you're four months...five months...six months post op, you're done losing..." Tell her to shut up!! I wish I'd kept up with inches, but very much like everyone else, I know the inches will be falling off in those "stall" times... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khaw 10 Posted April 19, 2013 My first 2 weeks I lost a total of 14... Week 3 I've lost nothing very frustrated and discouraged! Isn't week 3 a little early to already be stalling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhnurse1 108 Posted April 19, 2013 My first 2 weeks I lost a total of 14... Week 3 I've lost nothing very frustrated and discouraged! Isn't week 3 a little early to already be stalling? Thats exactly when I stalled. I lost 22lbs in the first three weeks and then stalled for a whole week as a matter of fact, I went up 2 lbs. I am 5 weeks now and the scale finally has gone back down those 2 lbs again. My NUT said to really focus on Protein and sometimes this helps break through it but be reassured that you are still losing inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
