bookgirl1972 8 Posted November 23, 2014 Hi everyone, I am one month post op and in the dreaded stall. My stall has been going on for 2 weeks. i have seen lots of threads on the stall, but not Much on how to end it. Will it stop on its own, and if so, when? Or what did people do to end the stall? I would appreciate any Advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 23, 2014 Just follow your program carefully and wait. Put the scale away if it is stressing you out (stress is bad for weight loss!). Patience and time are the only known cures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patience and time are the only known cures Ditto. Stalls are normal and nothing you can do. Keep on plan and stay off the scale. My biggest stall breakers early on we're actually to eat more and drink more. Other than that, they just ended on their own. I probably even missed a few because i didn't weigh that often.

#9grammy 274 Posted November 23, 2014 I'm a month out also and at a stall for a week now. I've upped my Water intake it's not helping. I've only lost 15 pounds since surgery, 30 all together with the 6 month nut visits. Still on pureed foods which are yuck, like eating baby food. Which I've not done. Still I'd like to see some extra come off but will keep on trucking if it doesn't. I'm sure in time it will start up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkbunies 359 Posted November 24, 2014 I ended my stall by eating more... and that included eating a cup of frozen custard every night. I think it sends your body out of the mind set that it is starving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#9grammy 274 Posted November 24, 2014 I'm in my 4 th week and at a stall for over a week. Hmm eating more? might have to try that. I've been at this stall to long and only have lost 15 pounds since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
built2livenotexist 119 Posted November 24, 2014 My stall lasted for 2 weeks as well. The scale bounced back and forth between 239 and 241. I finally stopped looking after a week. It's frustrating, for sure! I stayed on my plan part of which is logging everything. I raised my Protein and caloric intake and cut carbs down by about 15g when I did that the scale moved. I'm not positive that that's what broke the stall but it was the only thing I changed before beginning to lose again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
