Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if you could tell me what a stall is. I know it's when you stop losing weight for a period of time but how long does it last and how did you get through it?

I'm a very impatient person and I get a lot of anxiety when I'm not losing weight because I'm doing everything right and I'm just getting frustrated.

Xx

I get the anxiety. I'm anxious about the dreaded 2 weeks stall post-op. It hasn't even happened yet. I highly suggest you stay off your scale. Only weigh once a week. You're probably losing inches. Take a deep breath and stay on plan. If you're on plan, 64oz Fluid and 60 grams protien, getting some exercise. You're doing all you can do. There is nothing more you can do.
Good luck you got this

Patience. I am in my 1st stall right now. It started Sat. Yes, it's bothersome, but I know I'm not eating anywhere what I was eating before, so it will come off.

It is different for everyone. Just make sure you are following your nutrition and Vitamin guidelines and it will pass. Your body has to adjust to the new amount of calories. You can try to increase your physical activity but if you are soon out of surgery don't push yourself. Just walk. It will pass. Try not to focus on the scale.

Have you been taking your measurements? Sometimes you are losing inches even when you are not losing pounds. Try to focus on how your clothes are fitting more than the number on the scale.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
