kjacobs 2 Posted January 2, 2016 My surgery was 11/3/15. I have lost 40lbs, but the last 2 weeks the scale has not moved for me. Anyone else experience a stall only 2 months out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted January 2, 2016 I experienced one two *weeks* out! They do happen once in awhile to pretty much everyone. I think your body has to stop and recalibrate every once in awhile. Just stick to the plan and you should start dropping again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedro Valle-Inclan 275 Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for sharing this, I didn't realize there were little stalls occasionally but iot makes sense. My first thought is to really become a walker and a healthy eater (even though I've never eaten very heqalthily for long) Mine is Feb 10th, I can't believe it's happening, I'm so tired of being a big heavy guy who is exhausted by the least amount of physical exertion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted January 2, 2016 I think most of us don't realize how normal stalls are because pre-op, a stall was when we usually gave up and quit whatever diet we were on at the time -- hence the yo-yo dieting. Now, I know that if I just keep doing what I am supposed to do, I will lose weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starlight710 5 Posted January 10, 2016 I am 13 months out and have been in a stall for two months. I was wondering if anyone has a few tips to move this along. Two months seems like a long stall. I have lost 80 lbs since surgery and 12 before the surgery. I feel great but am ready to take off the next 40 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without knowing what you are doing it is hard to give you tips. If you aren't happy with where you are why not make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals?

catwoman7 11,220 Posted January 10, 2016 my surgeon said going back to the pre-op diet (Protein shakes plus clear liquids) for a couple of days will sometimes get things going again. Haven't tried it since my only stall thus far has been the "three week stall". Since I'm over seven months out, he probably figured I was long overdue for one...
