So, is a stall when you lose absolutely NO weight in a certain period of time... or could it be if you only lose, say, 2lbs in 2 weeks? How do you know you've hit a stall? Is it just a period of very slowed weight loss or none whatsoever? How many days of no weight loss do you wait before you say "hey, I hit a stall"?

I've been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs for 2 weeks. For me this is a stall

@mousecat88

yes, i believe that if you don't lose any weight for 3 weeks+, that is considered a stall.

some OP might say they haven't lost any weight for (1) one week, (2) weeks - not a stall.

there is the dreaded common stall at 3 week

stalls happen to most OP - very common,- this too will pass☺️

keep up the good work while your weight goes down!!

@AJP

your 2 lbs up and down - is not considered a stall - bad luck, but not a stall!!😉

For me, when I stalled right after surgery, it lasted for a little over 2 weeks. My weight didn't go up, it didn't go down - it stayed exactly where it was. 255.5. Funny cause I also temporarily got stuck pre op at 266.6 🤷🏻‍♀️

I never could consider it a "stall" maybe I think in a less complicated manner, maybe a little naive, but I prefer "pause" . Your body is recouping itself before it starts a renewed amount of loss. It is going to come, stop and be proud,of all you have accomplished thus far. Be proud of your body for what it can do, not constantly berate it for its imagined sins. Not only you emotionally,but your body physically just underwent major surgery. Give yourself a hug and be grateful for what has improved for,you.😝🏡🌸🌺☀

In the strictest sense per Dr. Atkins, a stall is considered to be 3 weeks with no move on the scale or measuring tape. The second is as important as the first...

      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.
