6 months and at a stall



Recommended Posts

It's been 6 month since my surgery and I've been at the second weight I can't seem to loose anything. It's frustrating but don't know what to do anymore. I lose 5 and gain it back, has this happen to anyone? Any info helps.

I'm 6.5 months out and I finally just broke a 5 week stall. It's bound to happen sometime. Just hang in there and keep doing what you're supposed to, and it will break. Not much else you can do, unfortunately.

I will say that even when I wasn't losing, my body shape changed a lot, and I lost inches. Maybe measure that if your weight continues to stall, just to keep your motivation up. :)

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Are you:

Still following your program?

Getting in all of your Protein and Fluid every day?

Avoiding starches and added sugars?

Taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Avoiding carbonation?

Not drinking and eating at the same time since you had the bypass?

Eating slowly and mindfully?

Exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT lately about your goals and to make sure you are eating enough?

Embrace the Stall!

Dr ordered blood work and said my Vitamin B 12 was high to cut back on the meat. Funny thing is I hardly eat meat I'm avoiding starches in total I have lost 55 lbs in 6 month will really 4 because 2 months I didn't loose any at all. Yes I still eat slowly and sometimes I make myself eat. I don't eat and drink at the same time either. I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced it. Thanks

      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? 🤷‍♀️
