Hi, I had my surgery May 30th and I had been doing great. I eat around 85 grams of Protein a day and I jog 3 miles a day. I've hit a stall these past two weeks and I am feeling discouraged. Has anyone hit a 3 month stall? Is this normal? If anyone has any advice i'd greatly appreciate it.

I hit a stall 2 months after my surgery for about 3 weeks. I felt the same way, a bit discouraged but I kept on doing what I was doing and didn't change anything until finally the scaled moved for me. I did research and spoke to my surgeon about it. It's just your body trying to get accustomed to the weight loss.

What do you eat along with that 85 grams of Protein? What are your daily calories? Do you track your food with an app? Do you weigh your food.

You shouldn't be stalled so early but also, you are pretty close to goal and a normal BMI so it is going to be slower. The closer you get to goal and a normal BMI the harder it is to lose, and the more closely you have to track

Morning Breakfast I eat two boiled egss, lunch I eat 3 oz of chicken breast with 2 oz of vegetables same thing for dinner. I do weigh my food and I do log my food to an app. I eat around 800 calories a day and i burn around 300 from jogging. I do go see my doctor in a few weeks hopefully I start losing weight again if not I'll ask him what he recommends.

So you are living off 500 net calories a day? That explains your stall. Try increasing your calories. How can you run and not pass out on that low of calories? If I go below 1000 for a day I get light headed.

I will see if I go see the nutritionist. I don't get light headed or anything so I really didn't think nothing of it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
