Have stalled at 6 months

I had my Sleeve surgery November 14, 2012. I lost weight regularly up until this last month. As of this month it seems I can eat much more than normal and I have stopped loosing and have been stalled for a month. I have lost a total of 65 pounds but still have 65 more to go and am getting concerned that I will stay where I am. Any comments or suggestion will help!

    Try the 5 day pouch test. It's suppose to help get through stalls. Day 1 and 2 you do only protein shakes and liquids Day 3 is soft protein Day 4 is firm protein Day 5 is solid protein

  • Stall for 2 weeks no fun if this was a diet I would quit again, glad I have the sleeve.

Same problem here except I was sleeved in December. :( I have slowed down on exercise, but I plan to increase that this summer. I'm still getting praise for losing so much weight. Hopefully, we'll continue to lose over the next year as many others have said on here...the 18 month mark seems to be where the weight loss stops for lots of people with stalls along the way.

I too have hit a stall and was sleeved in Nov. As well..... from what I understand this is pretty normal. I was told to increase my exercise and will do this soon. Just bought a treadmill that we just put together.....

I walked for.a.little while on there today and will increase the minutes daily..... Will let you know if the stall breaks because of it....

But I will keep going because I'm stubborn that way :)

Thanks guys glad I'm not alone hope I start loosing soon again. I am thing of doing a week of liquids. How much have you all lost?

I´m only two weeks out but I know they told me to expect the loosing to really slow down after 6 month or so. So I guess what you are experiencing is normal. As long as you don´t gain I wouldn´t be worried.

I have been dealing with the same issue for the past month, I'm 7 months out. I've really tried to increase my physical activity. I'm also having new thyroid issues, and I'm using that as a scapegoat so I don't get too frustrated with myself.

I was sleeved in Dec also and have been in a stall. I also was in the hospital for pancreatitis in April, then had my gallbladder out April 30. I have been kind of bummed but am glad to see that this appears to be kind of normal. We can all encourage each other through this stall. ????

Hi all! I am also in a stall of sorts. My scale keeps telling me that I gain and lose the same lb everyday! :) Has anyone tried increasing protein, calories, water or carbs and found that any of them actually works? There are so many suggestions to break the stall, but surely there's someone that has tried and succeeded. I have 40 lbs to goal and really getting discouraged. I have increased exercise to shock my body, but to no avail. I will keep at it, but feel there's something else I can do. Help!! Surgery date 11/15/12.

I too am at a stall! I had surger dec 28th and have lost 71 lbs so far! But for like the last month i have gone up a lb then down a lb!! Its so frustrating! I havent been working out because I just moved and im still getting settles from that plus I work full time and have 3 kids! Glad i have lost this much but its getting discouraging now :unsure:

I've lost 85# altogether, 57# since surgery. I quickly moved to the slow loser category after the first 2 months. But slow and steady should mean not too much loose skin. I'm increasing my water and protein intake. I read that makes a difference. We'll see. Anyway, I'm glad we have this site to encourage each other.

Stall for 2 weeks no fun if this was a diet I would quit again, glad I have the sleeve.

Im 6 months today. So frustrated also, I finally hit onderland like a week ago and now back up to 201. I know its my fault though. I ate a stupid candy bar after I hit 198 and since then it has only gone up and stayed. That is the only cheat I have done through this whole "journey". Damn Im angry at this ****!!!!!
