So the last month I've stalled out between 163 and 166 lbs. Out of 13 months of my weight loss journey I've never stalled for this long. Can this be a bitter sweet thing being that in 4 months post op of WKS and already 12 lbs from my goal weight and needed to slow it down drastically. OR ... Is this the end of my WLS ride that I get and I need to take another route?

Has any other WLS folks stalled out for this long too?

I am 15 months post op and have completely stopped losing I started out at 216 and got as low as 163. I asked my surgeon at my yearly check up and he said that this is probably where I will stay. I told him I did not reach my goal of 140 which is 23 more lbs. I eat right, exercise daily and I am following all instructions to the letter. He told me to stop focusing on the scale because I did wonderful and I should be happy with what I accomplished. He also said that I was not that large to begin with and had less than 100 lbs to lose and people that are in this weight group sometimes do not reach their goal weight. I frustrated but thankful at the same time, I can't possibly do much more than eat right, exercise !!! I also have thyroid issues where I had it removed and need to take thyroid meds the rest of my life. I hear ya and totally understand where you are coming from

Oh wow... We were the same weight at start and now. I guess I would be okay with staying here cause this is actually a food size for me. I just need to tone now... BUT I'm ONLY 4 months post op so I'm feeling a little jipped.

What size are you BBdoodle?

LLLLOOOLLL... OMG ME TOO! I stalled the entire month as well and at the same darn weight too. I was starting to get a little depressed thinking that was the end of my journey. Even tho I don't really end to lose more but the fact that I still have like 7 months to my 1 year annivetsay I don't want to sit on a stall that darn long again.

I know it's hard but try not to let it get to you!!! The rest WILL come off!! I know it will! Just follow your Dr.'s advice and just enjoy your new body!! I have like 35lbs. till I reach goal but I'm loving my body! Reminds me of high school days! I was given some short fitting dresses size small and medium and I took one look at those tiny dresses and said there's no way these will ever fit me! I tried them on and even the small fit( a bit tight, but passable) I wore one with some new wedges to date night with my hubby, then afterward I had to stop @ the store... No joke 6 men hit on me in the store and I felt awesome !!! I'm soo happy Had this surgery!!!

So how long did your stall last? I'm four months out now I too and I'm two weeks into a stall and am about to lose my mind. Lol. Holding at 222 lbs.

My stall lasted over a month!!! Then I stalled again after. I lost 6 or 7lbs. Don't worry the weight WILL come off!!! Usually when I stall I drop inches and go down a size or more!! Try not to get discouraged!

I'm almost 5 months and my stall has lasted about an entire month now. Definitely can tell my clothes are super loose but I tell you... My scale will not budge under 160 for nothing!!!

I stalled about 8 weeks out for 2.5 weeks. My doc said its your body getting used to the weight loss. Plus I do weights at the gym and its slower to come off the scale with that too. Keep it up and it will come off!!!!
