I know some people get tired of the topic of stalls but this is a support group, right? So here I am obsessing about this second stall I'm in, and people don't give me negative responses because if u do , I will gladly ignore u. So the past two days I've been eating 800 calories and today I'm going to eat less to shock my body, would love any insight on how you changed things up during a stall u had. Thanks to those listening

I've read all kinds of stuff on this and I've tried several things and I'm pretty frustrated too. Eating 500-600 calories a day does not even cover you BMR. I've been almost at a dead standstill for weeks.

My stall broke when I ate more.

I tried eating more and had popcorn one night out of frustration and now I weigh 2 pounds more...go figure one wrong thing can do that...lol

Have dropped it to 600 and nothing,nada,zero....

I guess we just have to wait it out!

Sometime more fiber and water clears out the clog. If you're a goer the scale goes lower.

Feels as if I might need 50 more for the future, I could read this type thing all day.

wish i knew how far you were post WLS - no data on profile

gonna try and clean my chrystal ball - you are still early PO, about 2 months???

whatever the time period since WLS....

if you are exercising - change order of things you are doing - do one thing instead of another, change your routine - helps sometimes - personally i don't exercise enough, have to work on that

reducing calories to 600?? i think thats going a bit too low, but not sure where you are with your eating - i have heard people increase their calorie intake, and this could break a stall, i know, go figure

drinking more Water never hurts!!!!

btw - there are some people that might not say things in the best way, not aware that they are being alittle insensitive they just might not know better............

like you said, this IS a support group, and if you fall, we'll pick you up

as you loose more weight, then we can pick you up easier

good luck my friend with breaking your stall sooner than later!!!!!

Thanks Grammy, I'm 4 months post op. I drink 12-15 cups of water and stay within 6-800 calories per my doctor, it's hard for me to even get to 800 most days, I have a really tight sleeve. I don't want to go against my doctors orders. I feel so lost ;(

Anybody else have any advice?? Please share

Hi Sweet Susie,

I tried all kinds of method, i went back to liquid diet for 3 days, just on Protein shake.. then the scaled moved, but it went back up, and even higher prior to the liquid diet by a couple of pounds, then i started excercising like mad for more than a month.. didnt move.. nope.. I control my intake at 800 cal MAX, and that is if im on a good day, the rest of the time, im usually at 600cal...

Recently, due to the rain here, i stopped excercising, try to eat more, and my scale moved.. i stop obsessing with the pounds i lost, so i havent stepped on the scale for about 2 weeks now, but i did notice my tummy is shrinking.. its flatter now..

Sorry, my story doesn't seem to be telling you anything, just thoguht i'll share with you..

but that said, i think everyone is different, you just got to try different methods, give it time, and you';ll eventually find what your body wants..

And i really think eating less than 800 cal is not going to help. perhaps you should up you intake to 1000... see how it works out for you?

Good Luck!
