This damn stall

[EmilyJune 43]

Hello everyone!

I was sleeved on 5/26 and I lost 31 pounds so far and most of it was lost within the first few weeks. I have been loosing 2 pounds here and there, but It has been stalled for 2 weeks or more. What should I do? My NUT said I was eating fine and I am trying to add more exercise on top of working 3 jobs to shock my system. Any ideas??

Thank you!

Frankly, the stress from working 3 jobs is probably not helpful.

Other than that, stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight you will experience stalls.

If you have already consulted your NUT then there really isn't anything you need to do but ride it out.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise when cleared.

And, Embrace the Stall

Hi @@EmilyJune

I was sleeved 4/28 and had a very similar experience to yours. Lost quickly for almost a month--then stalled for four weeks. During that second month I too would lose a pound or two and think the stall was broken, only to stop losing for another week. It was definitely frustrating!

The stall did break and I've been losing pretty well the last two weeks. All I can say is stick to your program. You're doing great so far and you'll lose plenty more when your body is ready. Besides, you would have been thrilled to lose a pound or two per week before...

No need to worry over this.

I've been at a stall for 4 weeks. I'm 9 months out. At least I haven't gained anything lol but it's frustrating. This is the longest I've experienced and part of me feels I'm not going to lose another pound!!!

I'm 10.5 months postie and I've stalled for about 7 weeks now. Don't know if it's gonna last forever, and at times I'm very discouraged but I have to give myself the opportunity to CONTINUE to be successful, so I stick to my meal plans and workouts. There is no end to this way of life. After all, it is my NEW way of life.

Saying that, if you're just a few months postie, believe me, you're NOT done. Your body is playing catch up. Let it do its thang!!! Good luck
