Another stall

[vmc5022 6]

I had my surgery in Feb and experienced about a three week stall where my weight loss was very slow and then it picked up again. Right now I've been at the same number on the scale for almost 2 weeks and it's very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced another stall 3-4 months after surgery? I'm still working out 5-6 days a week and getting all my Protein and everything it's just frustrating. Thanks!

Yes and you will have more, unfortunately. Get back to basics:

-- keep a food journal

-- drink all your Water

-- track and eat all your Protein (often if you increase grams of Protein it gets you out of a stall)

-- don't drink with meals

-- wait 30 minutes until after your meal to drink Water again

-- exercise

I don't remember others but these are key. Best of luck

/I am about three months post op. I had stalls, or slow-going weight loss ( 1-2 lbs per week on average). Over the week or two, I found my weight and shape changing again. I attribute coming off a plateau to increasing my Protein, watching my fat intake, and increasing the vigor in my workouts. I do interval training on the track, treadmill, or elliptical. I also try switching my diet and exercise out every few weeks.

I am 7 weeks out now...My body is fighting back so badly... its such a stubborn thing just like its owner. Hehe ☺

I have had annoying weight loss so far... i stall a week... drop a little suddenly... maintain for a week then drop again .. etc etc... sooooooooo annoying.

But hey... at least its going down... not up... i think i need to escalate my exercise now.

I don't mind the slower weightloss in a way... at least this way my skin has some time to recover... hence less loose skin

I know right? It's been many weeks where I was at the same weight. It can be frustrating, but as long as we are not going up, and continuing a healthy lifestyle, we'll be fine.

Stalls are normal, you guys. Keep following the plan and you'll do fine, but I swear that if I had a dollar for every stall post I read, I'd be rich! Lol!

True that! .... even though i know its normal... and i know from previous wls that my body doesn't really lose much till the 3 month mark...... but i still want to whinge and whine about it lol

I wanna stomp my feet, throw a huge tantrum and throw those scales out the window hahahaha

I had my scales die on me the other day... and i vowed that i wouldn't purchase new one.... but there was a scale sale and they were 70% off! I couldn't not buy one... so now i am back to obsessing about the numbers ... i need help hahaha

The number on the scale is not the sole determinant of weight loss/health. I noticed my face, neck, and body slimming before I had major weight loss. There's been weeks where I did not lose a pound, but wore a smaller size. It easy to get obsessed with the scale, but remember the ultimate reason we chose to get surgery. I now have better sleep, breathing, I'm menstruating/ovulating every month, can walk up and down the stairs without an inhaler, etc.
