6 weeks post tomorrow - Stall Question



Recommended Posts

So at 3 weeks I hit the stall. I lost a total of 29 lbs in that 3 weeks, but since the stall I've only lost 2 lbs. Iim not gaining anything. 'm really watching my carb intake and making sure everything I eat has lots of Protein. The only thing I struggle with is that I can eat everything. Pasta, bread, etc. not a lot mind you - but maybe 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta and 1/2 slice of Dave's Killer 21 Grain bread. I'm rarely going over 900 calories a day and getting plenty of walking and exercise every week.

My questions are:

Is this still the stall? Or could it be my calorie intake?

How long do stalls last? This will be 3 weeks now! I'm starting to get discouraged.

Is there anything I can do to kick off the weight loss again?

Thank you!!!!!!

Not the bread and Pasta together at the same time - but in separate meals. Haha

Stalls just seem to happen.

I hit one at about three weeks that lasted two full weeks. I lost 15lbs the first three weeks. Eventually the stall just started moving again and at eight weeks, I'm 31lbs down.

I can eat anything too. Except beef still kind of bothers me. But I've had wine, chips, ice cream, Pasta, etc. obviously not all on the same day but I so indulge once in a while (that's the whole reason I got this surgery!).

I've been doing kickboxing twice a week and am adding bootcamp in this week too. Along with 30 minutes to 1 hour of walking a day. I've steadily lost 2-3lbs a week since that stall.

Just keep moving, keep your calories and carbs low and it'll eventually move again. I usually eat 1200 calories a day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
