What was the longest stall you had?



Recommended Posts

So I have been stalling lately for 2-3 weeks at a time and only lost 2 pounds in 2 months. Surgery was 4/26 lost 45lbs total. I'm 4 months out and feel I should have lost a lot more. At my 3 month check up they said I was on track but I don't feel like I am. Honestly it's so hard days to even get all my Protein and Water in. I was just wondering if anyone else had long stalls like me. I have only found couple days to 2-3 weeks stalls at the most.

I'm in the same boat and it is so frustrating. Here's my info:

HW 206

Surgery weight 194 on May 16th 2016

Current weight 170

I've only lost 24 pounds since surgery in May. I keep telling myself to hang in there, it will come off slowly but I worry that this is it. I'll just keep plugging away and hope it comes off and more importantly, stays off.

Anyone else with a similar situation?

between 4-6 months - so just about a week shy of a two month STALL. back to loosing slowly now. who knows, my body needed a rest. My doctor says I am right on track also, and all my labs came back healthy except my b Vitamins which were too high (no more Vitamin Water zero for me for a while)

I am happy. I know I will continue to loose if I continue to follow a healthy lifestyle.

I start back with my workout next week and going to see if that helps. I'm honestly freaking out that I'm not going to lose any more. I hope this passes but this is a super long stall. Glad there's people out there like me but not happy we are not losing. Glad we can share our stories together. Good luck girls!! We have to kick these stalls in the arse!!!

@@mrsdoubtfire I lost 14 pounds in the liquid diet phase alone and thinking of doing it again starting next week when I start my workout. Also I read in another post that hitting your Protein goals helps tremendously with the weigh loss. That I don't get in. I wonder if everyone else having a stall gets all their Protein in.

Good point @asmallerme2016. I think I may do the same. I try to get in all my Protein but I haven't been tracking, so I definitely need to. I also did well with the pre-op diet so I may do that again for a week just to give myself a kick in the butt. I have been stalled for almost a month and it is driving me crazy!

As discouraging as slow weight loss is, this thread actually encouraged me. I'm 3 months out and have lost 24 pounds since surgery. I lost 14 pounds pre op so it's a total of 38. Almost all of the 24 pounds was lost the first 2 months and this last 4-5 weeks I've fluctuated the same 5 pounds. I was convinced I was doing something wrong and not going to lose anymore weight. I'm hoping my body decides to start letting go of some more weight soon!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
