Stinkin stall is pissing me off!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 10/26/15, lost 40 pounds by 11/19/15 and then pow......I stalled! Nothing I do gets the scale to move! Increase Protein, increase Water, decrease protein, increase water, eat more, eat less, talked to nut, she said increase protein, so I'm back at that again. I'm here in rant and rave cause its where this belongs! And to top it off, the more protein I eat, the louder, the longer and the stinker my farts are! I'm done complaining, but I'm still not happy! I'd eat a Christmas cookie or 12 in my old days to feel better but I know if I did that now I'd probably crap my pants in public! Ok, now I'm done! Thanks for listening to me computer screen.

:) nice rant! you had surgery one week after me - I'm in my 3rd stall lol - just keep with the plan and the stall will eventually end. losing 40 lbs in 2 months is pretty awesome if you stop and think about it....give your body time to catch up with itself

It is very common to hit stalls. So just stay with the program requirements and let the magic happen.

Your doing amazing and no need to worry. Your body is still in complete shock after having surgery, and it doesn't know what to do with itself. It is very common to get into stalls. Just keep focused on making sure you have enough Protein and add maybe walking or low impact exercise. Your body will eventually let go of the fat.

Good luck :)

Maybe mix up your exercise routine, I stalled and changed around everything and then lost 5 pounds after a three week stall. Sometimes no matter what you do it will just take sometime for your mind and body to register all the changes.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
