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.

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.

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/sickIMG_20171104_182817_409.jpg 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.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
