Has anyone had a long weightloss stall? I'm talking months. It's been since January since I've lost any weight. Idk doesn't seem normal to me. I'm 6 months out and i thought i was still in the honeymoon phase.

I'm hitting my 6 months out as well and have been at a stall for about a month and a half! I'm also eating around 1200 calories a day so that could be it. I have no problem eating 1200 calories so maybe I need to lower my calories a bit? I have a phone appointment with my nutritionist next week and going to discuss!

Stalls typically last 1-3 weeks. If yours has been going on for months, you're probably in maintenance. You'll probably have to lower your calories or increase your exercise (or both) to get things moving again.

Agreed! Its been hard to exercise under quarantine - I've been able to walk every day but I think I definitely need to lower my calories a bit. I can easily eat up to 1500 calories 6 months out with things like dates, dark chocolate, and almonds which add up quick.

Ok thanks! This is definitely hard to figure out when you think you're doing everything right but the weight just isn't coming off. Not eating enough or eating too much.

To much intake vs what you are outaking! Swiitch it up

Lower calories

Fasting will help

More exercise

That is not a stall you have leveled out - to long for a stall

I endured an 11 month stall. I tried lowering calorie intake, carb intake, increased cardio workouts and nothing seemed to work. I was told about intermittent fasting, I tried it and my stall had finally broken.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
