Since we are all in the stall together! Punintended! Do you think there is any evidence or studies done on patients who had revision surgery from lap band to RNY or any other type of revision and stalling?

I have no idea. I am also not sure what you are asking exactly.

Stalls are part of the weight loss process, so I don't think the type of procedure you have would impact the fact that you will stall.

Have you asked your surgeon or NUT about your specific concerns?

You are SOOOO right, as usual! My last "stall" lasted a couple of months, broken today. I think it is most of those who have just recently had their surgery, who talk about the stalls so much. Like you said, it is part of the whole thing. And lest we forget, it is not unusual to "regain" a few pounds here and there on our path. Just the body shifting around, getting used to the new program. It's best to take things one day at a time, and as we follow our individual programs, it is important to remember that everyone is different, and we each, independently, will lose in our own way, at our own time. Your wisdom, Inner Surfer Girl, is spot on!!!! Have a great weekend, everyone!

How long ago was your surgery?

No offense, but you know you're a newbie, also?

I don't care if you've done 50 years of research. Until you've actually had the surgery, what you think you know goes out the window.

It's kind of like the people who say they know all about how to be a parent because they're a nanny.

I mean, I'm 16 months out and still don't know sh*t.

True enough. But I've been the "new kid on the block" in enough different situations to recognize the pattern of the newest people to seemingly ALL make the same mistake, do the same thing, etc. before becoming more familiar with the setting.

I was just extrapolating those experiences to the comment that "Newbies never change."

That's all. No offence meant.

I love this quote, we need to b kind to ourselves and our bodies and continue to eat, snack, take our vitamilns, drink, and exercise rt as well as eat and keep our lives balanced in order for our bodies to be healthy and put out the results we want. I know we r human and try to substitute and tweak with our alignment but we need to not b so hard on ourselves. I'm getting back on track slowly but surely and am not beating myself up anymore. I'm realizing, as previously mentioned, "I am only human".

I'm not bemoaning the stall; I know it's part of the journey. HOWEVER, I would like to know from others at what point they stalled and how long their stalls lasted. And yes, I'm aware that everyone is different, but it's helpful to me to hear about the experiences of others.

exactly!

I stalled weight wise on Nov. 17 and still stalled! BUT - my clothes keep getting looser, today I ran an entire mile on the treadmill instead of walking fast. I still eat and drink healthy and I feel dam good. I still weigh every day and chart it, mainly cause I'm a statistics kind of guy and love to predict trends and control numbers and all that geeky stuff. Plus I'm ahead of schedule still on percent lost.

i am at the end of my weight loss journey, although I would like to lose twenty more pounds. I have been at my current weight for four months and am learning how to maintain it. in a few months I will work on the last twenty, right now I am loving me as I am.

I am not there yet, but I have observed that stalls may lengthen and become more frequent the closer people get closer to goal. It makes sense as our bodies seek an equilibrium point.

Bumping this because we seem to have a lot of folks who had their surgery recently so may be fast approaching their first stall.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
