So how long does the first stall usually last. I haven't lost pound in over a week exercising every day and getting all fluids and Protein in. Getting between 400/500 calories a day. I know i will start loosing again just wondering generally how long the stall lasts. Thanks.

mine lasted two weeks

Mine was 8 days, I upped my water and food a bit and it broke. Water is critical to breaking a stall in my experience. Also I'm at around 800 calories a day now. If I let it go below 600 I stall.

Up your calories that is what i did and it broke my stall im having 1000-1200 a day 3 meals 2 snacks and I have lost 27kgs (9 on preop diet) am about 11 weeks post op. Honestly some days I only get about 800 but I really try to get at least 1000.

Thanks everyone I will try upping my Water intake I can't up my calories by much bc I'm only allowed to have refried Beans cottage cheese ricotta cheese yogurt and scrambled eggs. But my diet advances Friday. So right now it's alittle hard to get much more calories in. Thanks everyone for the advice much appreciated!!!

Add a protein shake - that will give you around 160 calories or so and much needed protein.

I'm having two Protein shakes a day already lol 60 grams total of protein just in them alone. I'm getting all my protein and my fluids in with out a problem. I guess I cld add another one. But it's so hard to get the two down lol

you could also just wait it out. I did. I just stuck to my plan, and it eventually broke. They always do. I've never wanted to increase my calories as I felt like I was on the high side as it was.
