I really wish I knew too! I am 4 weeks out and really haven't moved in the past two weeks and when I did it was like two pounds over one night and nothing since. Getting frusterated.

Time is what you need to get out if your stall. Give you body a break. You just messed with everything it has ever known. It believes you are starving to death and that the crops and hunters are having a bad month. See many many years ago people would store fat to help them through lean times. Our body's being the amazing vessels they are would go into starvation mode. It would hang onto everything. Just give it a chance to stop throwing a temper tantrum and you will start losing again.

If you are further out tips to break a stall are increase Protein, Water, and exercise.

Stalls will happen and when they do you lose inches. I have always felt like the inches were more important than a silly number. I have gotten to the point that I want gain muscle weight.

My final thought on this That in several months when you have done the stall dance several times someone will post panicked about their first stall. You will smile and remember that it is part of the process and tell them to relax the journey is just beginning.

I love this! I totally agree I was thinking what am I doing wrong and a RNY Buddy said drink more Water and WAHHHHLAAAA I started moving. I also went to kickboxing class and ate lots and lots and lots of veggies. It's a process, but a beautiful one! :)

I was in a stall 5 months post op and it lasted 3 months without any loss what so ever. I stuck to my eating plan, increased the Protein a bit and changed up my exercise from 45 minutes to 1 hour and in increased the intensity big time..... the pounds started coming off again. I did notice that when I was in my stall my size went down but not the number on the scale. My surgeon says stop obsessing of the number on the scale !!! I still weight my self daily because I want to stay on track... I don't freak if it goes up an pound or two because I know I am eating and doing everything right. Hang in there it will move...change up some things to re-restart.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
