Time of the month? 2 pounds is likely Fluid since you're eating nothing different. Trust yourself and it will resolve itself!

I have just ended my period. I got the shot for the first time and bled for a month straight and it just ended yesterday. So I am not sure if he has to do with the hormones. I also recently started using Miralax and my mom told me that it causes you to hold more Water in your colon so maybe that is what it is... I really hope this ends soon and that I don't go up any higher.

I was sleeved in July 18. I am down 60 pounds today. I have hit a stall' date=' no movement in a week and half. Any ideas?[/quote']

That seems great, is it 60 pounds since surgery or does that include pre-surgery weight loss?

My loss has been similar. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks ( sleeved 07-29) and only 3 since then. From what I read its pretty common to stall. It will start back up again.

July 31st for me. Lost 29 during the preop liquid and 23 since surgery. Total of 52 lbs. :-). I'm still on full liquids. Will advance to soft food Sept 5th.

How long have you been doing the liquid diet for?

How long have you been doing the liquid diet for?

I was on Clear Liquids only for the first week. And have been on full liquids after that. So about a month and half. Counting preop. A month since surgery.

Oh. I applaud you. I could not have done it for that long. You are a very strong willed & determined person!!!! Best wishes on your journey!!!!

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved July 30th. I lost 18 pre opt and 27 post opt. I haven't lost anymore since beginning of week three. This past Wednesday started week 5 hoping the stall is over.

Good luck to you guys!

I had surgery on 7/30. Lost 22 preop & 17 post. I'm on soft food and everything seems good . I had a lapband in 2004 and had it removed in 2010 due to a slip. Gained everything plus lots more once it was out.

It was recommended to use a stool softener instead. The other stuff retains additional Water in your stomach to create a movement.

Well guys I ended my stall yesterday morning when I went down .4 lbs. And today I got on the scale and dropped about 4 lbs!!!! Turns out I was eating to few calories again. This is my second stall and it seems like when I stall it is because I am not eating enough calories and spreading my meals too far apart. I am now at 269.4!!! A total loss of 38 lbs!!!!!!

Hi carissicagail,

How many calories per day were you eating during the stall? I'm in a stall now for about two weeks.

[Carissicagail 8]

I haven't been counting calories lately bc I have been eating at my colleges cafeteria so it is hard to track calories. But, during my first stall I was eating around 500 calories a day.
