How many of you have suffered from this? And how long did it last for you? I'm dealing with it now and it's driving me mental. I'm trying to stay positive, I just thought maybe hearing other people's stories may help!

2.5 weeks in and I stalled. Now, 5.5 weeks later, I am sill stalled with a slow 2-4 pound loss in 3 weeks.

That would be enough to see me running to Burger King. A kind of a 'whats the flaming point' binge. What the hell causes this? And what happened to 'if calories out > calories in = weight loss'

2.5 weeks in and I stalled. Now, 5.5 weeks later, I am sill stalled with a slow 2-4 pound loss in 3 weeks.

I stalled from weeks 2-10. I am only now at 11 weeks post-op. However, during that time I had amazing inch loss. Lost 3 dress sizes. So I'll take it.

The key is to remember your body is doing things during a stall. We get condiditoned to think that if we don't see the scale moving we are not successful. I really learned a lot about my mental and physical self during this stall.

Keep at it with your Protein and liquids and your body will catch up.

That formula is the lie we all bought into. I've done diets at very low cals and high intensity workouts and still not much weight loss.

I learned during my stall that success is not the lbs lost, it is the great way I feel and how healthy my mind has gotten around food choices and this process.

Its my 3rd week and I have been stalled for 1 week. I lost 28 pounds in 2 weeks. I have increased my activity to include a variation of walking and cardio aroebics. I hope to see results in the next couple of days.

Um, not sure cardio exercises are wise just 3 weeks out of surgery.... Your stomach won't have healed yet. Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't attempt anything too strenuous until the 6 week mark. Besides, on such a life calorie intake I just don't have the energy. Just walking for me.

Well, in the past week I have managed to lose the 3lbs I gained. This leads me to believe that this was not the infamous stall but a female fluid retention wobble.

I'm so glad to read this post...I too have been in a stall for what seems forever but I believe its been 2 weeks now, just seems longer. I keep going up & down the same 2 lbs. I'm staying just below 800 calories & getting my water in so have no clue what the problem is, except that I keep reading it's normal. Well, I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT! Grrrrrrr! Yet, I do see my clothes are fitting me differently & I'm swimming in some of my tops that I couldn't wear because they were too snug on me so something is happening but I want to see it on the scale! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I do have a love/hate relationship with my scale ~ always have, always will! (Well, maybe I'll really love my scale when I reach my goal!)

I have had many stalls, sometimes they can last for weeks. Just know in the long run the new life style wins out.Good luck all.
