Stall at 3 months?

[AlanaRN 419]

Did anyone else stall at 3 months? I've been stuck for 2 weeks. Think I need to increase my calories. I only get around 700 per day.

Hi

Yes. I've been stuck for a while but there's still changes (lost inches). It started (stopped?) at three months.

I don't particularly focus on calories. Just my Protein goal. But I am usually around 800 cal a day, 80 grams of Protein, and 40 carbs.

Hard to know what will kick start the weight loss again. If you search the site about the three week stall, there are plenty of suggestions.

Just keep the faith and stick to your plan. It will break. :-)

700 calories is pretty low for 3 months post op. Increasing for a couple days would probably break the stall. On a side note, did you ever think that anyone would tell you to increase your calories to lose more weight?

Thanks all. Yeah it's low and I'm trying to increase it but it's hard! And yes it's shocking to hear to eat more! Lol

I'm in the same boat. Low and behold, I stop eating ice cream every night and then I hit a stall. I start eating ice cream every night again and then it starts falling off. True stuff.

I'm taking Testosterone shots. I told the doc to up the dose and he did. I'm hoping this will help with it too.

I just wan the current stall to go away for good.

Yes, you need more calories. My longest stall lasted for a month at 6 weeks out when I was nauseous from a medication I was taking. I could barely drink or eat. As soon as I stopped the meds, I doubled my intake (around 1000 calories) and dropped 8 pounds in 1 week. Stall over!

PS. I dropped a whole pant size during my month stall, so don't get too upset over the numbers on the scale.

Gosh I hope I don't. Seems like I stalled more than lost over the past month. I was hoping for good movement in my 3rd month. Lol

It's really frustrating. I'm on vacation right now so I'm hoping this breaks it!
