Stall related to starting real foods?



Recommended Posts

I have been in the dreaded "3 week stall" for about a week now, which corresponds to the time I started introducing the standard "real" foods (cottage cheese, tuna, yogurt, etc.). Are the two related? Just curious about others' experience.

I wondered that too. My stall isn't just weight loss but a bathroom "stall" too so I think that could be part of the reason .

Yes, I went thru this as well and mine lasted a full month. My nut said it was very normal and as long as I did not gain all was well. She said you won't be loosing weight but you will be loosing inches during the stall.

My 3 week stall lasted 5 weeks, and finally broke with a loss of 3 pounds. Following week lost 1 pound. Very frustrating. I did lose 4 inches during the stall however. I just never expected to be losing this slowly. 9 weeks out and only down 18 pounds.

      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.
