Weight loss Stalls



Recommended Posts

Just curious for some of you what your longest stalls were and how far along you were post-op that you had your first stall?

I had bypass on 10-17-17

I started my journey in Jan of last year I was 581

I was 475 on surgery day

Today I’m 404 but I have been 404-408 since 2/18

Still doing all the right things or at least I think I am. I’ve also tried upping and lowering my calories no luck.

I’m trying to not get down about it but I just have this goal of being 399 or less and my first major milestone and to be at 404 and having this stall like I have been is getting to me.

Just curious any advice or encouragement any of you other guys have for me as I keep telling myself it’s only temporary but how long does temporary have to last.

Thanks everyone.

Haven’t had the surgery yet but 2 if my friends have had pretty much the same dilemma and the nutritionist recommended upping the Protein

I have stalled a few times myself it is normal for sure can last a week or a month but don't worry it will get start going down again soon. I noticed if I don't get enough Protein in daily I will start to stall also so protein i think is important... hang in there it's part of the process.. and even when your not loosing weight on the scale your body is getting smaller in inches ....

Hey guys thank you so much. Took the advice on Protein and I've hurdled my stall and now down to 398.

So happy. Thank you both for responding

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
