What's the Longest Stall You've Experienced?

Hi everyone!!!! I was sleeved June 18, 2013. My surgery weight was. 365. Post op month 1, I was down to 335. Post-op month 2, 305. Post-op month 280. I've been doing everything as far as eating and exercising by the book, but the scale has not moved in the past 2 1/2 weeks. I consume about 800 calories, 60-80 grams of protein and a very small amount of carbs daily. I have even increased the intensity of my workout regime. What do you all suggest I do?

    I'll echo what Wispy said. I didn't lose in about 6 weeks, but absolutely lost inches. I'll take it!

I'm basically on a month and a half right now. Very discouraging.

But did you take your measurements? I was not losing any pounds, but lost another 3 inches overall!

Be careful , the scale can be your friend, or enemy. My doc suggested I weigh only once a month.. Hide the scale. Your body is going through transition and we should not expect huge losses all the time.,if u are following the eating protocol and exercising , The pounds lost will eventually show on the scale..yes, measuring yourself is also a good indication u r making progress. Think of this way, slow and sure wins the race.

I really hope I'm losing inches b/c the scale isn't moving! I started this journey at 292.5, now almost 4 wks post op I've been stuck at 256.5 for a week now. Have to keep reading these posts to remind myself it happens. So frustrated!

I have been in a stall for 3 weeks now. I am 4 months out. I weigh 208.2 started out at 265. Was doing great till I hit this stall. Just want onederland so freaking bad. I know it just takes time. I take my measurements every week and the last 3 weeks I have stayed the same. :( I know u just gotta stay with it and it will come.

Thanks for all of your advice. I hadn't measured myself since post op month 2, so I'll definitely start keeping up with my measurements.

I just got out of a 3 week long stall that has been my longest one. I am 4 months out. It was horrible. I thought I was done losing weight but I am not. I have lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days. It just takes time. U just have to wait it out.

You and I were sleeved on the exact same day. You have lost 85 pounds in 3 months!!! That is FREAK'N AMAZING!!! I have lost 47 pounds in the same period. I am currently in a stall and actually gained 2 pounds in this week's weigh in. I am not worried. It's a stall. If you've read enough of these posts, you know that stalls happen. Don't fret. There are many reasons for stalls--water weight, backed up plumbing, monthly cycle, etc. You're doing great. Keep doing what you're suppose to be doing and the weight WILL continue to come off as soon as your body is ready.

The longest stall I've experienced last about 3 1/2 weeks. It was three months after my surgery and I was so discouraged and thought that I would not lose any more weight. Finaly it broke, and now I'm just under 5 months out and have lost 60 pounds.
