Stalls Are No Big Deal So Why Complain?

I don't understand the posts of "Im stalled and not losing weight". Whats up with that? It just gets me fired up when I hear this from others.

I mean, come on, 85% of your stomach has been removed, we eat like birds and someone thinks something is wrong when they don't loose weight for a few days to weeks??? My so-called stall happened when I switched to mushy foods, go figure. Body needed to adjust to it. Took a week and back to loosing about a pound per day if I stick to good healthy food.

If I were stalled for more than a few days, I would contact my NUT and look over what and when I put in my mouth. I guess I'm just venting here, but there is no quick fix to being fat. It takes our bodies time to adjust. If we all ate like we should have before the surgery, we wouldn't be fat in the first place. It's just simple math. I consumed a average of 6000 calories a day and now about 500 calories. Yes I may stall a few days but will loose the weight when my body says so!

    I guess it is because people want to see a steady loss and sometimes it isnt the case. My body seems to have a pattern. I will drop 2 or 3 pounds, usually on the weekend and then stay the same for a

Because someone paid big bucks for a sleeve, doesn't guarentee success!!! Watching what you eat and keeping track of your claories does!!!It's simple math, calories in, calories burned!

Most of us on here failed miserably at that in life and ended up sleeved!I see people on this site and others that lost 100 pounds then don't loose for a week and get frustrated and post it! They were already a BIG success loosing the 100 pounds!!!This isn't a race, this is a lifestyle. THATS WHY I POSTED MY FRUSTRATION ABOUT STALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many people on here have accomplished so much already and seem not to see it.

"a calorie is a calorie" is a load of crap. Everyone's body handles each type of sustenance differently. Thyroids are HUGE factors. If your thyroid is not at its optimal performance level, you can eat 500 calories and you won't burn it off doing 500 calories worth of exercise. Again - there are other factors that need to be considered. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a "perfectly running body" like you apparently do. If you don't like the posts, don't read them. Simple enough - but have the CIVILITY and RESPECT for others that have concerns.

Oh - and nice "Christian" attitude, judging others.

Just disappointment and magically wanting that weight off I think. I understand why people need to vent although, IMO, a stall isn't a few days of not losing. A stall is 2 weeks or more without losing. Not losing a pound a day is not a stall (although it feels like one the first time that happens!) until you haven't lost for a couple of weeks. That's a stall! I had my first one of those at 5 weeks for 3-1/2 weeks living on less than 500 calories a day. Anyway whether it's three days at the very beginning or 3 weeks, it's tough to put up with without venting.
