Has any one had numerous stalls.I am almost 9 weeks out and have stalled 6 weeks out of the 9 and can't understand why? Don't let the ticker fool you that was mostly pre op. Have lost 23 since surgery.Is this or has this happened to anyone? I am trying to find answers it's frustrating when your excercing. 5Xs a week and eating right to not loose weight

23 pounds in 9 weeks is nothing to sneeze at!! Are you drinking enough Water? Getting in enough Protein? Doing some exercise? Avoiding refined sugar and carbs? All of those things make me lose more slowly.

Perhaps now is a good time to try My Fitness Pal or another food logging site. List every bite you take and see if there is a trend.

Patience is also the most overlooked tool in this journey. Sometimes we just have to keep doing what is required and working towards our goal while our bodies decide to start letting go of some weight. We didn't gain it overnight; we won't lose it quickly either.

Yes drinking 10 glasses a day,averaging 80 to 100 grams protein.doing a hour of cardio 5xs a week, don't touch sugar and use fitness pal. I average 800 calories a day

I'm wondering if that is just your weight loss pattern now... some people just don't lose every week. They "staircase" lose. Meaning that they go awhile without losing, then drop, then go awhile, then drop, etc. If that is how your body is, then these aren't stalls.

Also, what are you considering to be a stall? One week without losing? If you are losing on the staircase pattern then a stall would be much longer without weight loss. This is how I lose now.

As for being frustrated, I feel you! I think its easiest once you can get to a point where you realize that they happen and can accept it as part of the journey. It will always sucks, but it won't bring you down. You are doing everything right. Look at your overall... even if that was pre-op it still counts! I lost 40 pre-op and I never dropped large numbers post-op and I stalled quite a bit. But the numbers add up in the end. Right now everything is still new and its easy to want fast results. It will settle soon and you'll be able to appreciate each pound more, and not be so frustrated with the stalls.

My advice for stalls is always to focus on Water and Protein and not worry about the numbers. They will move!
