I am 6 weeks post surgery and have been stalled with my weight loss over a week. I'm hearing the same news from many of my February Sleeve buddies. So frustrating! Any vets out there have stories or words of encouragement related to weight loss stalls?

I'm in my 6th month and I've had more stalls than I can count. But I have lost wright. All those little periods of loss add up. Keep working the program and your body will let go of the weight when it's ready.

I had 3 stalls in 8 months. They do happen.. But then you lose fast and then stall.. Picture walking down stairs. YOU lose and lose and lose and then level and then another stair comes. Same idea.

I am four months out and just finally came out of a 3 week long stall I was so frustrated!

I'm 15 months out and totally stuck. Have been at this weight a while now - at least 4-5 weeks. It's taken me about 6 months to lose the last 20 pounds.....a few days or a week isn't really much of a stall by comparison.

At 6 weeks out I hadn't stalled yet, and I was thinking "yeah, I GOT this!). Then I gained 3 pounds and there I sat for a month. On the fifth week I finally dropped the extra 3 pounds plus 2 more. And this was all while I was sick on medications and could barely eat/drink anything. 3 rounds of IV fluids and maybe 400 calories/day. Basically starving with no weight loss. As soon as my Meds were switched I doubled my Fluid and calorie intake and immediately broke the stall.

But even on the stall, my snug jeans became loose jeans, so my body was still losing inches, if not pounds. And I only weigh once/week so I wouldn't even know about the shorter stalls.

Wow- when I started this process, I had no idea your body could stall that long on so few calories.!

Our bodies are amazing...they do the best they can with what we give them.

That they are! Even though the scale hasn't moved lately, I still feel so much better than a month ago! Thanks for sharing.
