What's the longest period of time you were "stalled" ?



Recommended Posts

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. Does it really matter how long it last of you are doing what you are supposed to be doing?

I think those who treat stalls as separate and apart from their progress rather than an integral part of it experience much too much anxiety.

Embrace the Stall!

Kind of hard to embrace the stall when it's been about 3 weeks and I'm only 5 weeks post op.

That's pretty normal. Almost everyone experiences a stall a few weeks post-op. I HIGHLY recommend just staying off the scale and only weighing about once a week. Focus on the things you CAN control, like your Protein and Water intake and your activity level. The scale is gonna do its own thing and it's best to just ignore it as much as possible. You aren't going to be the ONE scientific anomaly that does everything right and doesn't lose a pound after 2 weeks post-op. :P

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
