3 Month Stall Anyone!?



Recommended Posts

Hello!! I am 3 1/2 months post-op, and have been losing weight consistently, maybe 6 days max, I have stalled but nothing major. But now...... its been 3 weeks!!!!!!! Ive increased Protein, more Water, more meals less meals, and so on and nothing. I work out twice a day and so I also wonder if its that! I feel like I am going to stay like this forever! has anyone been through a 3 month stall?! what did u do?

I had a stall at almost 4 months out and it lasted 7 weeks, just be patient as you can and it will pass!

It happens to everyone. Your body is just trying to hold on to your weight because your calories are low and it thinks your starving. It can't hold on for long. I have stalled 3 times on 6 months for 1-4 weeks. Just came off of my last 3 week stall and boom...I lost 3 lb in 3 days (this Friday, Saturday, and today). Just keep doing your diet and workouts. It will kick into gear.

You're not alone. I was sleeved on 5/30 and doing great. Then along comes July 24th and NO MORE WEIGHT LOSS!!!! I have been stuck at 273-275 since then. Finally I called the nutritionist out of desperation. He said my body was in shock and thought it was starving to death with the rapid weight loss, restricted calories and aggressive workouts. "Just stick to the plan." (Darn it! I wanted a "fix").

Well, today I weighed 271. I'm praying that this is my body figuring it out!!! Good luck! Hopefully that scales budges soon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
