I really wish I knew too! I am 4 weeks out and really haven't moved in the past two weeks and when I did it was like two pounds over one night and nothing since. Getting frusterated.

Time is what you need to get out if your stall. Give you body a break. You just messed with everything it has ever known. It believes you are starving to death and that the crops and hunters are having a bad month. See many many years ago people would store fat to help them through lean times. Our body's being the amazing vessels they are would go into starvation mode. It would hang onto everything. Just give it a chance to stop throwing a temper tantrum and you will start losing again.

If you are further out tips to break a stall are increase Protein, Water, and exercise.

Stalls will happen and when they do you lose inches. I have always felt like the inches were more important than a silly number. I have gotten to the point that I want gain muscle weight.

My final thought on this That in several months when you have done the stall dance several times someone will post panicked about their first stall. You will smile and remember that it is part of the process and tell them to relax the journey is just beginning.

I love this! I totally agree I was thinking what am I doing wrong and a RNY Buddy said drink more Water and WAHHHHLAAAA I started moving. I also went to kickboxing class and ate lots and lots and lots of veggies. It's a process, but a beautiful one! :)

I was in a stall 5 months post op and it lasted 3 months without any loss what so ever. I stuck to my eating plan, increased the Protein a bit and changed up my exercise from 45 minutes to 1 hour and in increased the intensity big time..... the pounds started coming off again. I did notice that when I was in my stall my size went down but not the number on the scale. My surgeon says stop obsessing of the number on the scale !!! I still weight my self daily because I want to stay on track... I don't freak if it goes up an pound or two because I know I am eating and doing everything right. Hang in there it will move...change up some things to re-restart.
