Hi. I'm 3 months out (sleeved 5/8) and down 50 lbs since 4/24 (start of 2 wk preop diet) went from 275 to 225. But my weight hasn't changed for last 15 days. It bounces up or down a pound or two daily but basically averages at 225. Am I done losing??? I can't be, right? I know stalls happen, just scared maybe I'm only gonna lose 50 lbs with the sleeve. I hope not! Is this a common time for a stall (3 months out).

Thanks for your input!

I haven't gotten to 3 months yet but I have read on this board (over & over & over) that the dreaded 3 month stall is very common. All I can say is what I've read to switch up your diet a little. Eat a bit more calories, drink a bit more water (remember, the more water you drink, the more your body shrinks!) & not sure what else, but you can do a search on it. There are lots of seasoned Sleevers here who give great advice! Just don't get discouraged...it's part of the journey! Good luck to you!!

It can be normal. I went through a stall that lasted over 7 weeks. I didn't sweat it nd just told myself it's going to work.. And it did

Stalls happen for all sorts of reasons and at any time in the process. I personally stalled in weeks 3 - 5 but have been on a slow but steady weight loss since then. There are some great threads in this forum explaining stalls and what to do to jump start weight loss again. Check them out and see if any of the changes described might help you too.

I'm 5 months out, and I've had 4 separate stalls that lasted 2 weeks each. I'm still down 83 lbs in 5 months, even with the stalls. Don't sweat it, it's just your body adjusting.

Stalled at 2.5 months, just ended at 3.5 months... It happens, hang in there, as Ms AntiBand says, don't sweat it, stick to the protein, water and exercise and the scales will shift. Keep an eye on your inches too cos even if the scale stays still, your body is likely to be changing shape. Good luck....

It happened to me too. Then after the month long stall I lost maybe a pound a week for another month. At about 4 months or little longer the weight just started dropping. I didn't do anything different. I just started losing pounds. I'm just over 5 months now and losing a couple pounds a week on a good week and a pound or so the rest of the time. Don't let it frustrate you. It's just part of the deal for some and undoubtedly you will lose more. I guess that happens when your body gets good and ready to let it go:)

I am two months post op and have been for a stall for four weeks now. I have tried changing my food and exercise and still no results.

Same here..very frustrating!!

It happens I am 9 months out and went through the same thing. It will pass and you will drop the weight. I am now at goal. I was a lower bmi (37)and 27 yr old. 289 lbs now at 170

Glad I'm not the only one...12 weeks out and stalled the past 3 weeks. Trying to be patient, but convinced this is the end of my weight loss, lol

Yep, 2 months out and I've been stalling a while. I know a part of it is lack of exercise. Just hang in there!

Just trying to be patient. I spoke with the nutriitionist today and she said I'm doing all the right things...so

I'm at 4 months and I'm stalled too. But I have faith that I'm not done yet. I've started changing things up by exercising and making sure I get my protein in first. This shall pass. Keep at it!

I going to try couch to 5k...I'll let you guys know how it goes..lol

In all honesty I'm almost 2 months out and I haven't lost since my first 3 weeks basically. So meaning I've been in a stall for a month lol. It is frustrating to be in a stall so long especially at the beginning because I think it just reminds us of all the times we have failed. No I don't need to loose 100 lbs in 3 months but at least 15 over the next month
