it can drive you MAD can't it? honestly I was crazy frustrated until I got to a certain point in my weight loss before I could relax and know for sure that it would keep going once the stall was done.

how long ago was your surgery? what are your stats? how are you doing with drinking and getting Protein? try to focus on the things you can control rather than the scale (I know it is hard)

I agree it is frustrating but even a stall is so much better than gaining, which I would do before WLzs as soon as I even thought of cheating.

I just completed another stall and cringed getting on the scale another week anticipating no change. What a great uplift when it showed 3 LBS DOWN.

Well life goes on.

Yes it is very frustrated. I know why we have the stalls but I am getting very discouraged by them. In the 6 month since my surgeries I seem to have had lot of stalls. I had my 6 month followup in July and my 9 months is due at the end of Oct. It is going on 8 weeks since my 6 month followup and I am not really happy with 9 pounds gone in 8 weeks. Am seriously thinking of just doing liquid Proteins this weekend to see if I can't get out of this latest stall.

If you are going to let the numbers on the scale drive you crazy and dictate how you feel the please STAY OFF THE scale.< /p>

Agree 100%. Mine is in the closet and comes out weekly. I'm going on a 7 week business trip starting next Wednesday and hope my apartment does not have a scale at all!

I weigh myself once a week and havent gotten no results in 3 almost 4 weeks so thats all im saying is its frustrating but your right i probably should just not weigh at all because the numbers do mess with me

I would say your 500 calories days are way to low especially when you're working out - and might need to try to up the Protein and calories a bit.

that being said, I lost pretty steady on until 4 months (stopping here or there but less than a week) - then stalled for TWO MONTHS. and now loosing again, slowly, but I'm loosing. your body has a lot to adjust to and the stalls may be due to not enough calories/protein, but could just as easily be your body doing other things which is all a part of the process. At this point I know that before surgery during that two month stall I would have gained back what I lost instead of holding steady but I just kept following the plan and knew eventually the scale would have to give way.

Both your protein and calories seem really low.

I know it is counterintuitive, but not eating enough can slow your weight loss as much as eating too much.

I remember when you told me this the first time I was experiencing a stall and I would just think "how can she expect me to "embrace" it!?". I am so thankful now because I only understood the meaning of it now that it's over.

We panic so much but there is no need to. There is a lot your body is catching up with or preparing for in the background while you think the process has "stalled". It hasn't. It's working in the background. Just hang on there.

I'm just like you. I'm 4 months post op and currently on a 1 month stall. I actually posted something very similar the other day ;) This week I've been working on upping my Protein and Water... hopefully soon I'll see some weight loss. But I understand how frustrating it is. When we take such an extreme measure to lose weight and all of a sudden the loss stops, it's horribly disheartening. I've been depressed quite a bit, but I keep praying it will pick up again soon. Stay strong, sister!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
