I'm in a stall and I don't like it!

[Seela 1,187]

I'm about 3 1/2 months out and prior to the new year I was really rockin my sleeve. I hit onederland... yay me! Then nothing. I've been stuck between 196-197 since the beginning of January. I know, I know, stally are normal, blah blah blah. Still sucks! I get around 70g Protein every day and 6 to 8 glasses of Water. Around 800 calorie. Do you think I'm getting enough calories? Or should I just keep doing what im doing and be patient? Frustrating.

I hear ye - I've been on a stall for six weeks now - and it aint no fun

think we just need to persevere.

I am considerably further out than you - was sleeved Oct 12, so I'm wondering if that's it - 50lbs short of my own personal goal

I'm in a stall as well. 50 lbs from my personal goal as well. Sleeved Oct. 1. I was told by my surgeon between 3-4 months most stall for a bit. It will auto correct it's self keep eating good and exercising he said.

Hey Seela.

I've been stalled for a week now. I looked threw myfitness pal and compared the last week to the best weeks I had losing. The difference for me was carbs. The last few days my carbs have krept up...that's the only thing I've done differently.

So..I reset my goals on myfitnesspal so that its a little more clear to me. In order to lose, I need to stay at 20-25 carbs or less.

Could your carbs be creeping up too?? Just a thought.

I was expecting to see a sad story until I read you've only been waiting since the beginning of January.

Take pictures, measure yourself... find other ways to measure your success. The scale isn't always going to move when you want it to.

Lose the word "only" from your vocabulary. It will make your journey a whole lot more happy.

I'm 3 MOS out and have hit a stall too. My nurse said maybe I'm eating too many carbs. How in the world do u eat 20-25 carbs? My Protein shake has 10! I could use some suggestions for Protein and low carbs it's so overwhelming!

Another thing to try is to change things up. If you are walking for exercise try a cardio dvd, or strength training. If you eating a lot of the same things day after day try making some changes.

Omg! I was so happy to get home from work and see so many responses! Also I found it interesting that most of you that responded were sleeved in October as well. Thanks for the pep talk and thank you for the info from your dr about stalling at 3-4 months. I wasn't really whining as much as I was looking for support which is exactly what I got, so... thanks. 95%of the time I do great so I'm gonna keep on truckin and trust the process!
