KristenLe 5,979 Posted May 15, 2016 I have been stalled for ten days too. I don't weigh everyday, but it's not moving. I did weigh myself the other day and it was up three pounds, but I think it was a night time way because my the morning it was normal again and has stayed at that same 246.5. Getting enough fluids, Protein, exercising. It's a head game for sure. I just keep repeating to myself, 500 high protein calories in, 400 burned through at the gym...fat has to be coming off somewhere even if the scale doesn't agree. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk You may not be getting enough calories. Concentrate on getting in all your protein and Water - it'll come off. 500 calories is not alot at your stage and your body may be in starvation mode and doesn't want to part with the extra weight/fat.

Puddles 23 Posted May 16, 2016 Had surgery March 22. I have been stalled for almost 3 weeks. I have lost 27 lbs up to this point. I don't weight myself more than twice a week, but the last week has been so tempting to do it more often. I try to make sure I am getting enough Water and Protein. I will admit I think part of it initially was not getting enough protein. I have increased my protein through using high Protein Drinks and bars (can only eat 1/4-1/2 a bar at a time, but try to get the whole bar in throughout the day) as Snacks. I have also tried to make sure I eat my protein first, then any veggies. My biggest downfall is exercise. I know I need to increase and start to do more than the walking I have been doing. Just a bit frustrated. Don't expect to loose tons of weight each month, and know there will be stalls, but dang........this is feeling like forever! Anyone else having stalls like this?

miss_smiles 192 Posted May 18, 2016 Congrats @@emiroo!! That's amazing! How is everyone else doing?! I am in my 4th stall! Frustrating, 35 pounds down but trying to stay positive. Any one else stalling as much?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seattlesweetheart 5 Posted May 18, 2016 I haven't had a real stall. I'm slowly losing but not really getting stuck. I try to play around with different calorie intake every few days. I might have 800-850 for a few days then I do a day and go up to 950 and then go back down. I talked to my nut and she said this keeps my body constantly on "active" so it doesn't get stuck. Hope this makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentBotts 138 Posted May 18, 2016 This has been my first week losing again after stalling for two weeks. I'm closing in on 50lbs lost since the beginning of my pre-op liquid diet. Adding a second Protein Shake each day seemed to push me past the stall. I had been getting 55-60 g of Protein now I'm 80-90 g my body seems to like the added protein.

CanadaLoser 80 Posted May 18, 2016 I was sleeved on March 30th and I am having a hell of a time lately. Nothing agrees with my tummy and I can't even stomach liquid. So needless to say I'm not getting enough calories or liquids. And I have been stalled for a while. It's so frustrating! Did anyone else become intolerant of food that they were tolerating just a few weeks ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That seemed to be a huge issue for me - the protein. I upped my intake and have lost 4 lbs this week. Was quite suprized to say the least. Prior to that it was slowly and sure weight loss. This was my first really big stall. Taught me a lesson to keep my protein intake up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did anyone else become intolerant of food that they were tolerating just a few weeks ago? Have not gotten intolerant, but have noticed that some things just don't seem to taste as good as they used too. For the liquid - that is a hard one. I could go a lifetime and not have a liquid diet again. Though I have found it helps me make sure I get my Protein in. Limited to 2 different flavors of Atkins that I use and that helps. May want to explore different types of protein. For a while I was attached to cottage cheese and hard boiled eggs. That is all that I would eat. Not the best diet, but I was getting good protein in along with Protein Shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
