Depends on a whole boatload of reasons. I have found that doing something different helped break mine. If you're not doing well on hydration, hydrate more. If you're not exercising, start. If you are, increase duration, intensity, or even do something different for awhile. If you're exercising like a fiend, cut back. Up your Protein. Up your calories and possibly fat and carbs as well (or cut back on all three).

My surgeon said a stall is if you don't lose weight AND don't lose inches or gain weight and gain inches within a six-week period.

13 days between Weeks 4 and 5...it sucked.

I would suggest putting the scale away for at least a week if not two weeks. Keep following the plan from your doc and/or NUT. Walk/exercise (if you're cleared).

The stall will be a distant memory soon.

Best of luck!

Thanks, Lauraven. I needed this. Been bouncing around for a few weeks and getting frustrated.

A bit of a personal antidote here..

My whole weight loss journey has been a stall with bits and pieces lost here and there.

It was a bit frustrating at times, but at some point I just gave into the process and said I'd look at the big picture after a year. And if by then there wasn't a good loss then I would freak! :)

I can so relate. I had revision to sleeve on 11/27 and have been stalled for a week. Actually I lost two pounds but then they came back. I wonder if I'm eating too much because I DO get hungry. I see people say they are never hungry and I wish that was the case for me. For example, tonight I had 1/2 cup egg salad and a dannon greek light and fit yogurt. I probably could have eaten more but didn't.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
