LuminousLife 145 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) I'm 2 months out and on a 3 week stall (not losing inches either) I'm exercising 7 days a week (I change up my routine). Eating strictly lean Protein, veggies & whole grains (600-800 calories daily). I get in all my fluids & protein and I take Bariatric Fusion Vitamins 3x a day. I journal everything. I'm not sure what more I can do. Surgery date 12/3/13 sw 230 cw 200. I'm terrified this is all I will lose. Open to any suggestions.

SeriJ 16 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm only 11 days out and have been stalled the last week, oddly enough. I don't think there is any thing to do except keep on course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdub 109 Posted January 29, 2014 How intense is the exercising? Maybe you need to up your calories a little in case your in too much of a deficit (ie - starvation mode). I found that If I went to the gym 5+ days a week that my weight loss slowed compared to going every other day while on 800-1000 calories a day. I've found that this is what works for me. 3 bearman99, Carlotta1 and Danni-doinit4me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted January 29, 2014 You need to adjust your calorie intake until you notice a loss. You're most likely making your body go into stsrvation mode. Its not going to give up anythibg if it thinks you're starving. Also.. I went through a 7 week stall.. it just happens sometimes. But dont starve.. change 1 Adoptivemom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted January 29, 2014 For the 1st 9 months post-op, I panicked every time I hit a stall. Now I know that if I stick with my exercise and diet that worked before, it will work again. It just takes time for my body to adjust. You will continue to lose weight, just stick to what you know works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very intense, sweating bullets, can't talk intense. I will try upping my intake. Easier said than done. Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bearman99 228 Posted January 30, 2014 You could try exercising less instead of eating more. There are a great many reasons to exercise, weight loss might not be one of them.
