Too few calories can definitely cause you to stop losing. You need calories to burn calories. Your body will go into starvation mode otherwise.

Also keep in mind stalls happen. Try not to weigh every day. It gets discouraging when you do that. I've lost no weight in a little over a week but I've lost an inch around my neck and an inch in my waist. Our bodies do need to stabilize. They've been through a lot.

Yea I think I've been eating too few calories as well. I also got my monthly friend (28 days later!) which for me it's amazing it's on time! How many calories are you eating at this point? I've definitely lost inches and feel better. My sugars definitely reflect it.

I think I just broke my first stall. Weighed myself for the first time in a week, and I'm down 3 lbs. Although I think it had more to do with the fact I have a good BM fir the first time in 6 days. And no white poop!

Way too few. Maybe 500 on a good day. It's a full-time job Bc nothing fits. My sleeve is really tight in the mornings. Really tight. At lunch I had one little piece of grilled chicken from my sister's fajitas dipped in guacamole and about a tablespoon of refried Beans. dinner I'll eat about the same. Right now I'm gonna try really hard to get a muscle milk or Protein Shake down.

We have opposite problems. I am hitting 900ish cals no problem. But that's with two shakes on top of meals. I also am on my period and had to go get IV fluids at the ER so I'm hoping after that all calms down I will be back down on the scale. And a poop might help too.

I've been crazy busy. I moved and then my best friend is moving, but we are painting and fixing up her place. I've been skipping meals and that is so not good.

Skipping meals makes it tough on your body! But I really understand. When I was banded I never ate. Seriously, I would get to dinner and that would be my first meal. Once things calm down I'm sure you'll be able to get a good routine going.

Same, except I'm usually anywhere from 500-700 cals. But real bad on the fluids. I have my 5 week appt with my doc Tuesday, and I plan on having a good conversation with him about it.

I had a 2 week stall starting 1 day after my 1 week post op appointment. Although it was EXTREMELY frustrating, I do believe our bodies are in shock for losing weight so fast. I lost 22 pounds in the 2 week pre op + 10 the week after surgery. My surgery date was Feb 19 & I am down a total of 43 pounds. Do your measurements. Even though I wasn't losing on the scale, I was definitely losing inches. I also get my Protein in but struggle with Water. Best of luck to everyone! Just work your plan. I can't wait to see what we have to say in June!!

I'm on a 2 weeks stall (so far ). Lost 18 the first two weeks after surgery and nothing since. I'm barely getting in fluids and maybe 400 calories a day . I have been able to get 60g Protein daily though , but vomit a lot after eating so not sure how much I'm really getting in. I have been so exhausted and almost fainted on a few occasions from getting up to fast! Knock on wood ..today and yesterday I was able to get in 500 calories and no vomiting !!! Praying I'm finally getting the hang of this and can progress from here yay!! Still struggling with fluids !!

More calories? Can you really break the stall by increasing calories?

Yep bc if u r eating too few calories ur body will stay in starvation mode. That's what my nutritionist told me. I bumped up my calories and finally dropped a lb after my stall.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
