Exactly two weeks since surgery and I've only lost 8 lbs, I feel like I know that stalls happen but why me why now :(

HANG.IN.THERE. I was so where you are about 10 weeks ago. Frustrating beyond belief. Your body is adjusting...just keep following the plan and it will work. It just works at different speeds for different people.

Hag in there it will break....Everyone have stalls...keep active good luck!!!

The "dreaded 3 week stall"! Mine lasted 2 1/2 weeks. Not everyone is the same, though.

I am right there with you. I am starting my third week and my weight has not budged an bit. I put away my scale and will not weigh myself until my follow-up with the surgeon on the 26th. I hope this will keep me from getting discouraged. I know this will break at some point. I am writing down everything I eat. I get between 800 and 1000 calories a day. I ride my bike at least 45 minutes 6 days a week. There is no way my body can maintain 238 pounds forever. It will break at some point.

I am in my fourth week and have not lost anything in over a week. It is so frustrating and I am getting very down about it. I am doing everything I should be but the weight is just not budging!

I just had surgery 1.5 weeks ago, but I dread hitting a stall. I know it's normal and requires patience and all that... Still I really would like to avoid or shorten them. Before surgery I would take organic yacon syrup a few times a day and it has helped me break stalls in the past. Has anyone tried this after vsg?
