Well I hit the most dreadful stall - the 3 -4 week stall - I was stuck and so annoyed!! I was at 211 for 9 days - I spoke with a friend of mine who had the surgery years ago and she told me to eat more - I looked at her like she was nuts...I was like what?? She said eat every 2 hours - trust me it will help you!! I can honestly say I felt like the biggest pig yesterday - I was eating every 2 hours - and felt horrible because I want to lose weight and it brought back memories prior to surgery....well this morning - I woke up and the scale said 209! I was shocked!!! She she said we stall because we aren't eating enough and if we eat more then the stalls won't be as bad!! I was 239 pre-op and today I'm 209 - October 2 will be my 1 month post op - So I'm super thrilled - just thought I would share it with everyone who is experiencing the dreadful stalls that are super annoying

@@Jennifer Cunningham So glad to hear this. Hope it works for me.

Glad to hear this. I hope it works for me. I have been stuck for about 9 days on 202-203.

I hope it helps too!! Please keep me informed! Literally I've been eating today every 2 hours too - small things of course but hey if it helps I'll do it - she said it helps speed up our metabolism

Your friend gave you some very good advice.

Embrace the Stall!

I've hit my stall and will try this. I am hardly ever hungry and have to force myself to eat, but I brought my yogurt and fruit to work today and will be snacking every 2 hours to see if I can get out of this rut!

I ate my butt off yesterday with carbs carbs carbs. Black bean burgery patty, noodles, cheeios. Guess what? I lost one pound!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope my stall is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll keep you informed.

i am 9 weeks out and I have found that I lose more weight if I up my calories. I was hovering at 700 cals a day and would maybe loose half a pound a week. So me and my nutritionist agreed to up my cals to 800-1000 and I have steadily lost 2.5 pounds a week or so.

I'm so happy that its working for others too!! It's hard mentally to increase calories but it makes the pounds shed

Thanks will try this too

Can you share what types of things you are eating ??

Im 2 and half weeks post op. I think ive hit a stall. However i havent been eating right. Im gonna start spacing out my meals and being more aware or it. Im just never hungry.

i have been eating a variety of foods that have chicken, such as stir frys and what not. For Snacks I have been eating pork Rinds, Greek yogurt (the seasonal caramel Apple Pie is my favorite!) I will also snack on Nature's Valley with Protein bars. With my food selections I make sure they have at least 10 grams of protein in them. I eat about every 2-3 hours.
