to those who experienced the 3 week stall



Recommended Posts

I know this is common and I know it gets asked about a lot, but to those of you who went through the 2,3 or 4 week stall, how long did it last? Did you do anything specific to shift out of it, or did it just more on its own?

I've been losing and gaining the same pound for 9 days-I will be 4 weeks on Thursday. I've been patient until today...but now I'm annoyed. :(

I know you are annoyed but dont lose heart! The scale WILL move! Just give it a little more time and all at once it will drop! No way that it cant! Try to just wait a little while and dont step on the scale (easier said than done, coming from a lady that weighs herself 2 times a day! haaha) Dont get discouraged it will move!

I stalled for two weeks. Try and up your Protein intake to get things moving.

I'm 4 months out, and have had 4 2-week stalls in that time, including one around the 2-3 week mark. I'm still down 71 lbs in 4 months despite those stalls. Once they broke, the weight started flying off, then would slow down, then another stall. You can't expect it to happen in a straight line. I didn't do anything to break the stalls, they broke on their own.

I'm 13 days out from surgery. I lost 25 pounds in the 4 weeks pre-op Optifast, and have only lost 12 more pounds since surgery. I haven't budged in a week. I'm riding my bike or walking every day, drinking 64 oz. of Water, and eating 750-800 caliries a day. What gives?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
