That'd be 3 weeks. Yo-yo'd the same 2 pounds for 3 weeks, then one day I took a really good dump, pissed a lot and woke up the next morning 8lb lighter.

I was never worried though. As long as you maintain a calorie deficit, you will lose fat. Sometimes it just takes a while for water weight to sort itself out.

Stay hydrated, lay off the salt and don't over eat. The three ingredients for a whoosh.

6 weeks near the start , i went back to like pure protein a few days , no stalls since

I have been stuck at 224 to 228 for about 2 months now, but my body has changed. So my weight may be stable my fat is dropping and my muscle is building. I can almost see my ab muscles!!! If I can lose 15 more lbs of body fat ill be happy.

I’m 9 months post op weight came off fast I lost 80 lbs. I haven’t lost a pound in 4 months I’m stuck at 270. I find myself eating more. They say it slows down but not a halt like this. I’m getting concerned [emoji45]

That's not really a stall or slowdown, that's eating maintenance.

Counting calories for a week can give you an idea of where you're going wrong. Your sedentary TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) with your current stats is around 2,800 cal so if you can bring your intake under that, you'll start losing again.

Helpful Thank You. I working in a deli and I find myself grazing. Not good

I've been stalled for a little over a month currently. Bouncing between 185-188 and it's so frustrating but I'm just sticking to my plan. I had a previous 5 week stall back around 6 months post op, I'm 10 months post op now, so I'm hoping this stall will break soon. I'm about 10 pounds from my surgeons initial goal. I typically stall about 2 weeks every month around my cycle. The week before and the week of I'm lucky if I lose a pound but I was losing 2-4 pounds the following 2 weeks.

My longest stall was 1 month, but remember you must set your goal weight not your surgeon, mines wanted me at 150 but I love my body & look now at 186 [emoji41] I knew I would be frail/sick looking at 150?

Month 7 and I seem to be stuck at 164-165. It's been about 4 weeks now. I also seem to be eating more than I could before month 6. I also seem to be drinking more alcohol. Yeah. I know what I'm doing wrong. It's not so much a matter of being stuck as it a matter of I haven't followed the plan for a month. Time to get it back together. I have 25 pounds to reach my goal and I really want it badly.

You can do this!!! Just refocus and get back on track... Don't worry about the days you have messed up. Start from now!!

I know we're talking about stalls but I'm 16 months post op and have maintained my current weight give or take 3 lbs depending on time of the month since about my 1 year mark so I guess you could call it a stall-- I don't. My goal weight was 145. My birthday was 10/25 I got down to 146.8 was hoping to get there as a bday present to myself. BUT I'm at a point where I'm not going to sweat over these little lbs. I look great, my clothes fit amazing in fact I need smaller sizes. I have dress pants that I bought last year (size 8) slim fit so they were nice and snug for a while but now they have a relaxed fit and I could stand to go down a size. I ate 2 cupcakes my birthday week. Most of my indulging was in the form of the bubbly stuff (champagne) but otherwise I am back on my high protein kick. Doing green smoothies in the am no meals after 7 pm and now I need to get back to being active. I think if I hit the gym 4 days a week for the rest of this month I'd easily hit goal. But I feel like I am goals. I just want to keep it that way.
