You probably will not like this answer but stalls are normal. I would first make sure your eating and exercise habits have not changed. If they are the same then you body is just in a adjustment time. I have had several stalls. Some short and some as long as 1 1/2 months. The longest one was just recent and I had lost a lot of weight....I knew my body was adjusting. That being said I always lose inches during a stall on the scale. Try not to panic the scale will move again. Best Wishes to you...

Good News!!!

If your stomach grows back you will be VERY famous!!! But it won't. You are doing well, and transitioning from fast to normal weight loss. If, on average you are losing a pound or two a week... over the long term you are doing well! Just keep your head going and stay with your program!

I'm 3.5 months out, and just lost a pound after an 8 day "stall". I don't really consider them stalls, though. I exercise regularly, have been following my NUT's plan, and have lost steadily since surgery. But it's not a daily loss, at least not for me. I rarely go up on the scale (maybe a few ounces, but not that often) but my loss tends to look like a crazy staircase - it always goes down, but the steps are all different lengths.

I don't stress too much about the stalls - there are a million posts on here about them, everyone goes through it, and there are vets on here who are still losing weight after 2 or 3 years! Even if it takes me that long, I'll be happy because I'll still be healthier than I was pre-op!

Good luck to you!
