Let's talk about stalls...



Recommended Posts

My first stall came right at the beginning of my 3 week post op mark. It lasted for two whole weeks.

I am almost 4 months post op now and I've had a few stalls since then, most only lasting about a week at a time. Most of the time though, I am losing 2-4 pounds per week.

Same here - around 3-4 week mark for 2-3 weeks if i remember correctly - many stalls along the way - even when i did the same activity and ate the same foods. My surgery was March 2016 and i steadily lost until around october 2016 - where it has taken me october til now (~5 months) to get down 10 pounds - going up and down 2-4 pounds over and over again. I call that a protracted stall - but i am 1 pound from goal or there abouts -

stalls will happen - and it is easy to obsess - but save yourself the worry - if you are eating what you are supposed to or close to it - maybe lay of the weighing for a week or two - the weight will go

3 week stall lasted 20 days. Had another 3 week stall last month and two week stall at 8 months out. Every time I can't help but wonder if this is the most I will loose. It's a mind game. I just continue doing my best and switching things up a bit until the scale moves again.

In my 1st one now..5 weeks it started...scale hasn't moved for 10 days. I can't help but be paranoid that its because I can eat meat etc....thats when it started. Did you vets just carry on or do something to jump start it again?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
