Kindle 8,667 Posted January 15, 2016 Use the search function and type in stall. Your concerns have already been addressed a few hundred times. Better yet, just go straight to the "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" subforum. That's where your post should go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pillar2butterfly 391 Posted January 15, 2016 It's easy to be sad and frustrated...we all want our excess weight off and we want it to happen fast. Our bodies take the time it needs to do just that. Yes, it is very common to stall...just keep getting in your Protein, Water and Vitamins...if you follow the plan, it will come off. You will hit stalls, throughout the entire process. Chin up, all is good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,713 Posted January 15, 2016 This is completely normal. 99% of sleeve patients go through this exact same thing. Don't stress about it. Stick to your program, get your Protein in, get your Water in, take your Vitamins, and move around as much as possible and you WILL lose weight. I promise!

LeslesLosingIt 43 Posted January 15, 2016 Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last! I needed the good laugh this caused..haha. I am experiencing my first "stall" of a week, period related I'm hoping. I'm trying to be calm and not think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaonthego 24 Posted January 15, 2016 @@janira - Am I understanding your post correctly that your period has lasted for 12 days? Is that normal for you? Have you talked to your ob/gyn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janira 1 Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks for the replies everyone. I will go to the doctor on Monday and talk about my period. It has never been that long and maybe this has something to do with the stall??? I will see on Monday after I talk to the doc and see what he says... And yes, I guess stalls are normal and I just have to get over it :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
