I'm almost four months out and now I just expect stalls. The best part about stalls for me once it's over I usually lose a nice amount at once. Just remember it's temporary. I'm stalled right now at 202 lol but hopefully next time my scale moves it will be in the 100s. Good luck

Yup! Stalls happen!! I'm 9 months out and just hit a stall as well. Think of it this way...your body should be using this time to "readjust"... you should start to lose inches and/or your clothes will fit differently. The numbers on the scale aren't everything! It will move eventually, but keep calm knowing that your sleeve is taking care of you while your body has a mini hissy fit.

hope your stall comes to an end soon

I had WLS 12/15/11 - no stalls. I thought maybe i was going to avoid a stall.

No such luck, i've been stalled now 4 weeks

I'm 5 weeks out and just in the midst of my first stall. Only 6 days now, but it is worrisome that maybe I won't lose any more weight.

Stupid head game! Of course I will lose more weight! I can't maintain my current weight (283 lbs) on 600-700 calories a day. Sheer lunacy!

But my emotional self is worried.

I'll get through this....and should probably stay off the scale for a while to stop "psyching myself out".

I'm 4 weeks post VSG and have not only stalled but seemed to gain a pound or two. I'm sure it must have something to do with the fact I'm able to eat solid foods better now AND I started my cycle but I'm very frustrated. I am constantly on the scale which I know is terrible but could I really not loose anymore?! I sure would hate to think I've made such a dramatic decision for 30 pounds.

:discouraged:

I had to move the scale out of the house it can be very addicting.

Gains during TOM are completely normal!! I gain about 5 "pounds" every month LOL. It should go away right away afterwards.

I'm also in a stall ATM. It's been about a week to week and a half after two weeks of basically free fall on the weight. But, as Emily notes, I'm losing inches so I can tell it's still working. Just going to stay the course. I know that there's no way I can eat these tiny portions and *not* lose weight.

I just got out of a FOUR WEEK STALL! I was stopped at a loss of 30 lbs since i was 4 weeks out. Talk about being beside myself! I just lost 5 more lbs this week though so looks like I'm in the clear again....for now This is the absolute worst part of having the surgery for me now. Knowing that sometimes the scale wont move, even when I've had most of my stomach removed

Bumping this up (thanks to my stall search I found this)

And also wanted to add, my friend that is 8-9 mos post-op told me that while she's ovulating (2 weeks) she won't lose a lb. Idk if it's coincident or not, but my stall started right on the tail of my TOM....
