I was stalled for about 7 weeks, and I really thought my journey was done. I was eating more carbs, crackers, Pasta, and bread. That was my first long stall, then finally I cut the carbs, out, and the scale moved. I am so elated as of today I have lost 100lbs in 1 year, it amazes me. My official surgiversay is Aug 3rd, but 1 year ago July I was 268lbs and as of today I am 168lbs. Just wondering what others have experienced as far as stalls, and did you do anything to break it. I am trying to increase the Protein, although I get 100 gms a day. It amazes me, and I am so grateful for my sleeve. I would like to continue to lose the weight and reach goal, but even if I don't I am grateful.

My longest stall was probably about 4-5 weeks so far. I actually don't do anything to try to break a stall, just try to be patient and do the right things in terms of diet, exercise and sleep. I read some articles about the contestants on The Biggest Loser that dissuaded me from the idea of eating ever fewer calories or doing ever more exercise to try to force things. Lost about 65lb so far. Wish it went faster, yes, but I already feel and look so much better, I don't mind the journey.

I've only been in a stall about a week. I had started eating nuts every day as a snack. Not sure if that's the reason for the stall but I decided to cut them out to see if it'll help.

Spent the last two months wavering between a 1-2 pounds difference. But I did notice clothes fitting better/inches lost over that time, just the scale stayed the same.

Ate really high Fiber for a little while and suddenly dropped 2 pounds in around a day. Guess I needed the fiber to help speed up things. (pooping. I'm talking about pooping)

So sometimes it is your diet getting a bit out of wack (too many simple carbs or fat, not enough fiber, too high calories), and sometimes it could be that you're just changing up fat for muscle.

I don't try to break stalls, I just keep an eye on what and how much I am eating and make small adjustments if things are getting too off track.

Mine is 5 weeks - and I'm currently still in the stall. It's driving me crazy, but I know its going to end at some time (and hopefully soon).

yes, that is my thinking too. I'd rather keep my calorie deficit at a certain point and it take longer, than to risk ruining my metabolism just to get there faster. I am loosing overall and that didn't happen before surgery, really.
