I've read about the 3 week stall and even a 6 month stall. Anyone stuck/been stuck on a 3 month stall? I'm going into the 4th week of this stall with my weight fluctuating up and down 2-4 ounces. No changes in body measurements either. Protein goals and Water goals met. Not sure what else I can do other than ride this out. All suggestions welcome!

documenting and weighing out everything, even bites of food?

how many calories and carbs?

I would start ^ and maybe even mix up the calories a bit depending on your current amount and see if that gets things moving.

stalls happen throughout this journey and there are no guidelines for how often or the duration.

how far post are you?

welcome to the BP family!

This stall is so discouraging!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing significant amount of weight. Other than the third week stall, there isn't a predictable timetable.

I know I am late to this but yes, the three month stall got me too. Its ROUGH but i am trying to not let it get me down. As always, it will pass if you have more weight to lose. Patience is key! and to not get discouraged! i SHOULD take my own advice haha but glad I am not alone.

I'm at the 3 month stall too. It's been almost 4 weeks, so discouraging. I see my nutritionist next week I hope she can help.

Hey, just so everyone knows you're not alone! I'm just shy of 3 months and am about to hit my 4th week at the EXACT same weight. I have significantly increased my protein/bumped my calories up to 1200-1300 and swapped out diet iced tea w/ artificial sweetener for lemon Water. The only thing I haven't done is a ton of exercise but I have gone on some long walks. But really, it just seems like a true stall since it's been so long at the same weight. I was hoping to be less by this point for a vacation i'm going on this week but it is what it is! Hopefully it breaks soon :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
