I got the 3 week stall and was fine with it knowing it would pass . I didn't freak out I just went with it. So why am I freaking out over this stall at 8 weeks. Did anyone else have a stall at this time? I know I am able to eat more but obviously I am still nut eating anywhere near what I used to and only drinking Water so having no calories from liquids. I also went back to work 2 weeks ago when the stall started so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

In the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall each month. I'll go as long as 3 weeks with no weight loss (and sometimes a gain) then suddenly drop 2 or 3 pounds almost overnight. I haven't gotten use to it, but I don't let it freak me out anymore. :-)

I have been stalled for over a month now. Going back and forth between 223 and 220---it is driving me crazy, but my surgeon that was ok just don't let it get me down because it will be fine as long as I stay w/the program and believe in myself.

I'm dealing with my first long lasting stall now (sleeved 3/20) and it is driving me nuts.. I'm under 1,000 calories a day bounce between 50-100 carbs and sugar and fat are always under recommended goals. It'll pass.. eventually! :)

I have to keep reminding myself that I've lost 50 lbs already which is awesome for 8 weeks! If I continue like this it will come off! The compliments from my husband's best friend will have to be enough right now!

That's so weird when I saw this before the stall picture didn't show.

The day we were departing an Alaskan cruise there was a lady stuck in a stall on the ship.

I also stall for extended periods about every 20 pounds or so. I will lose steadily, a pound every day or so for awhile and then just stop cold. Sometimes I will gain a pound during the stall and then just start losing again. I just broke a stall this morning. I had been at 203 for a week or so and today l lost a pound. This one has been difficult for me because I really want to get to onederland. Soon. I am losing an average of 2 pounds a week.

I've been lucky and haven't stalled once, however my weight loss fluctuates. Some weeks its just half a pound others it is two pounds. After three weeks of half pound losses each week, I posted a 6lbs weight loss. Didn't do anything differently.

This week I will probably post my first gain. Nothing that I did, it is Water weight because of hormones. So I share your frustration. I know that at some point it will even out. Just keep doing what you are doing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
