2nd stall?

[Ms. Mandy 14]

When is the second stall for weight loss?

[kristy3k 1,133]

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...

I have a 2-3 week stall every month! I will be 6 months post op on the 29th

How much have you lost

[kisersassy 369]

I lost 11 pounds in the pre op liquid diet week before surgery and 76 since surgery for a total of 87 pounds

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 !

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!!

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

That's so awesome!!

I think I will try to keep my inches somewhere. 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!!

Oh for sure!! 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...

We are about on the same track!! I am down 88 pounds today. And made it to onderland this morning after being 202-204 for 2 weeks

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.
