How do you get out of a stall?

[ZoeGirl 0]

I had surgery on Aug. 23,2016, and have lost 23lbs. I am discouraged, because I thought I would have lost quite a bit more. I am thankful for what I have lost, but this stall has lasted 3 weeks. Any suggestions??

Might exercise more. That would be frustrating tho : (

I'm in the same boat. Sleeved on 9/8 and have only lost 25 lbs. I thought that by now, I would have lost more. I've been on a stall of almost two weeks. I've increased my calories, reduced my carbs and trying to walk more.

I'm having the same problem! Any suggestions would really be appreciated. One note: After surgery I kept throwing up, this went on for 3 months. He finally did an Endoscopy & loosened the pouch. No more throwing up, but weight loss dropped off. Do you think I need to get it tightened up?

More exercise, more Water, fewer calories. The first eighteen months is when it is easy to lose a lot of weight. This gets a lot harder.

Weigh your food and track every bite in My Fitness Pal. Get your calories lower. Weight yourself everyday. Eat only meat. eggs, cheese and a few non-starchy vegetables.

Do not eat anything made with flour or sugar. No bread, Cereal, rice, Pasta, noodles, potatoes, peas or corn. No cake, pies, Cookies, candy or ice cream. Do this and the weight will fall off. Don't listen and your surgery WILL fail.

Make sure you get your Protein and fluids in. Take your Vitamins. Walk. The stalls will break. They always do.

How are you doing at getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

What are you eating?

Are you exercising?

Are you following your program?

Without more information it is really hard to know if you are experiencing a normal stall or what.

I agree with inner surfer girl...need to make sure your following your program. With that said, what I have read and what has worked for me is your body will have stalls every 4-5 weeks. Your losing alot of weight quickly and your body plays catch up. What has worked for me through these stalls was to increase fluids and Protein. BUT everyone is different. Good luck.

I had my RNY on August 30, 2016 and I've lost 37 lbs since surgery and I was in a stall for 5 weeks. I adjusted my diet by drinking Protein shakes for a Meal Replacement, exercising and getting all my fluids. I really restrict myself on carbs and now my weight loss has started again!

Cutting calories is not always the answer - you may need to increase calories to kick out of a stall. Track your food and drinks- be sure you are concentrating on Protein and no calorie fluids.
