Its Offical Im In A Stall

So I should be grateful that I have gone 4 months without ever stalling but this is killing me! 14 days and not one ounce down. 75 to 80 minutes of cardio a day and 2 days of strength training a week, 80 ounces of water, 70g of protien and nothing, ugh so frustrated right now. I want to just go to he'll with myself but I can't. I also haven't been (regular) at all. No bm for 4 days. HELP

    Your body has a lot going on! It's asking itself lots of ?'s! Be patient! I was there! I'm a month out &around 2-3 weeks I had no movement in my weight! But then it was 2 sudden drop then 2 More

    I'm in a stall as well. No scale movement for the last 3.5 weeks. It is very frustrating but at least it's he scale is not going up!

    Try not weighing everyday. It is sort of like the watched pot that never boils. And do not underestimate the weight you are carrying as a result of 4 days with no BM. As much as you are excercising

I am 4 weeks out of surgery...and I have also hit a stall. At three weeks out of surgery' date=' I had lost 29 pounds...and now nothing, for about a week. It actually has me very worried, that I'm not doing something correctly. I'm sorry to hear of all of you having a stall also, but it really helps me knowing that I am not alone in this. For the people that have had stalls before...how long did your stall usually last? Just curious. This is a great forum.[/quote']

29 in 3 weeks is fantastic!! Happy to say that my first and only stall so far (almost 5 months out) is over I am down another 2 57 overall. If you type in stall in the search you will see a ton of helpful things to get you through but talking about it was the best thing for me!! Good luck

29 lbs is fantastic. I am 13 months out and I hit many many stalls along the way. Trust me they are very discouraging and no fun. I hit my first one at the 3-4 weeks post op mark and it probably lasted about 2 weeks. This is very normal so don't get worried. I have hit stalls that lasted 2 months already where I swore that I wasn't going to lose another pound. Trust me when I say you have to keep doing what your doctor told you to do and it will come off. I have even had times where I gained a couple pounds. Then the next week I would lose the couple pounds I gained plus lose a couple more. Our bodies are all different but majority of us all hit stalls and they are completely normal and and frustrating as well. Hang in there you are off to a great start!

Regarding the "no BM".....I have found "Smooth Move" tea very helpful. I drink a cup before I go to bed and the next day I'm usually back on track....no cramping or nausea either. I get mine at Target.
