Hi

I lose about 6-8 pounds fast and then I "adjust" (lol) for about 10 days.Then I lose fast again and thats been my pattern.Dont do long stalls.

How much weight have you lost?You had your surgery about 2 weeks after me.

Hi, I am 7 months out from surgery, I had a stall at 3 weeks that lasted almost 4 weeks, another at 3 months that lasted 3 weeks and just finished another at 6 months that lasted 3 weeks. I continued to lose inches according to my friends, but the weight comes off slow and I typically see those big stalls, which my Dr told me are normal for 3, 6 and 9 months. It feels discouraging the first time around, but believe me, it will come off if you keep doing what is right. Good luck.

I am almost 4 months out and I get stalls too, in fact I am in one now for a little over a week now, kind of frustrating, I understand.

I lost very little in month 4 &5 but my body shape has changed alot. All of a sudden XL tops were way to big. I dont measure but I most have lost alot of inches. It's amazing. Now that I'm almost 6 months out I've started losing again.

Total I've lost around 62 pounds but since surgery date weigh in at the hospital I've lost 43.

I am 5 months out sleeved two weeks before you and have had some stalls, but none lasted too long. I was told to eat some carbs(good carbs) and sleep as your body needs rest if you are working out alot like I was. Broke my stall in 2-3 days and haven't had a stall in months. I have lost 66 pounds to date and am 5 pounds from goal, my new concern is will my body recognize that and stop losing weight? I work out 5-6 times a week and am a little nervous I could end up way under goal....not complaining though I used to be way over goal lol!

I was sleeved two weeks before you and am down 66 pounds. I had some stalls in the beginning but was told to eat carbs, change up my routine and sleep. Did that and it broke my stall, haven't had one in awhile.
