I’m 8 weeks post op and have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. I’m starting to get frustrated. Just wondering what your longest stall was? Or is two weeks average or no? I know that everyone is different but would love a little advice from Veterans!! Thank you ?

I am a year out and have lost 113 pounds. Every single stall I have had has been relieved by upping my calories. Currently I eat abt 1400 a day w 60 to 85 g of protein.

That is an interesting observation!

I don't know if I prolonged my stall by drinking wine, but I cut that our and scale is moving again. What a crazy month!! Hopefully things are more smooth next month.

I was only eating around 300 calories and less than 20g carbs a day. My surgeon wanted me to eat 3 meals a day but wasn’t able to eat enough to get any calories or carbs in!! So I had to start eating small meals several times a day. Now I eat at Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and snack. I’m getting around 600 calories and closer to 30 or 40g carbs a day. The first day I did it, I felt like I was eating way too much and worrying about bad habits by eating several times a day. But that’s what it takes to be able to increase my calories and carbs and get the scale moving again. My stall was exactly 3 weeks long. A very long 21 days.

Isn't it funny how 600 calories feels like too much now? Lol

I remember one of my last meals before my pre-op diet was a Wendy's double with cheese, baconater fries, large Coke, large frosty.. Total of 2270 calories! And that was only my lunch!!
