I am so sorry you are at a stall. Don't think about it as a stall, think about it as your body taking a break and gearing up for the major change, that is going to happen. good luck!

My 3 week stall lasted 10 days. But during it I noticed changes in the appearance of my body. (Parts shrinking). This week I started off with a 3 pound weight loss, and another one today, so 4 pounds this week. Hang in there, you are doing great!! It will happen.... I'm a believer now.

Sorry about the stall. I was a very slow loser with the band but I eventually lost 110 lbs. I'm hoping to recreate that with GPS. I agree that your body is adjusting to the surgery and ur new way of eating. Make sure u r taking measurements because it's a great way to see ur progress even if the scale isn't showing it.

Please remind me of this when I hit my stall around the end of February! ;)))

Hi, I have been at a stall which lasted 3 1/2 months! Not weeks, it was soooo frustrating, so i just put the scale away knowing very well that it would eventually move and sure enough it did. . . so just hang in there, it's bound to move sooner or later . .

I had a month stall and I started working out about 20 minutes three times a week and the weight started coming off again. I have gone from my high of 210 lbs size 20 and now I'm 132 lbs size 4/6.. I promise my super sleeve was worth it!!! So hang in there..

PS

Drink as much Water as you can

I had my surgery back in Dec and had a stall (maybe I wasn't eating enough at around 700 cal?) Even my pre-diet didn't get me much weight loss (only 4 lbs on a week of 800 cal Liquid Protein diet.) But now I average 700-1200 a day, started moderate walking about 1/2 a day, and the scale is moving.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
