I'm so frickin frustrated with the stall. It's been 6 days now and I not only stalled, but gained 1 1/2 pounds. I'm a week and a half into the pureed foods stage, and start soft foods this coming week. I had my 2 week post op last Tuesday the 29th and my NUT suggested I use the myfitness app to track my protein and liquid consumption, so I've been logging everything (including water) and found that my protein consumption was lacking, I'm supposed to have 64-80 grams of protein per day and 8 glasses of water a day. I'm walking 3.5 miles a day. Hopefully, this damn stall period is short lived.

Stalls are part of losing weight. I have had several stalls in my journey. It has been 14 months ago since I had the surgery and I have had at least 5 times a stall and the longest lasted 6 weeks. I think my body was testing me.

Thanks so much to lipstick girl and NancyG and others talking abt long stalls around month 4! I have been about to decide I've gotten everything I'm going to get at month 4. My stall started during month two, although I lost a few lbs durning the past month or so. I'm amazed that I can eat less than 1000 calories a day and abt 50 carbs and still not lose. It seems mathematically impossible. Hearing from you ladies helps to fight the discouragement.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I haven't lost a pound in three weeks and I'm doing everything I was doing when I was losing. I'm 8 months out and closer to goal so of course I knew it would slow but it hasn't moved at all. But I love the stair step analogy! On the other hand I just went shopping and went down a size so that made me feel better. But honestly reading this thread reassured me. I keep worrying that I am done losing weight and this thread gave me hope.
