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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
