I have been stalled for about three weeks now and it's killing me. I began to monitor my carbs and am keeping a food diary but I just want to start dropping the weight again!!!

Hi! I'm almost 3 months out and have already had 3 stalls. Ugh! But I'm actually past my 3 month goal.

During my 3.5 week pre-op diet, I lost 25 lbs. Then in the first 2 weeks post op, I lost 10 lbs. Then I stalled out for a whole 4 weeks. Then I started losing again and within a week and a half I lost 15 lbs. Then I stalled out again for 2-3 weeks. Then another 5 lbs. fell off over 2 days. And now, I've been in a stall since then....I think about 2-3 weeks.

Hope that helps.

Hi There,

Stalls are exasperating! Everyone is different, and so its hard to say that a stall begins and ends at a certain time. Just know that they are part of this process. My doctor says that things are shifting around in your body, and you may still be losing, even though the scale says otherwise. I hope so, because I am 4!/2 mos. out, and I have stalled 3 times. Each time, it has lasted for a few weeks. All of a sudden, I will begin losing again. I am not a fast loser, so stalls are even more aggravating. I decided not to get caught up with the scale thing, and I just try to adhere as much as possible to a healty diet. It doesn't seem to matter if I am being extra good, the stalls come anyway, but they do pass. Good luck, and don't get discouraged.
