How long since your surgery? How long since you've lost any weight?

Stalls are fairly standard, and if it isn't long since your surgery and you are eating as per your post op guidelines, your scale weight will catch up to your efforts before too long.

make sure you're sticking to your plan, and stay off the scale for a few days. As long as you're sticking to your plan, the stall will break on its own. Stalls typically last 1-3 weeks, but occasionally they last longer. If it's been a month or more, than be doubly sure you're sticking to your plan.

You can’t break a stall. I know some will say I did by doing this or that but what happened was their body was ready to break the stall. Stalls are an important part of your weight loss. It’s the time the body takes to readjust to the stress of the changes you’ve made & making. It’s also the time your body uses to reassess your needs & adjust things like digestive hormones & enzymes, metabolic rate, etc.

Even though the scales don’t move, many find their clothes get a little loser which I think is part of your body readjusting. My body kept settling & changing shape for a time even after I’d stopped losing & my weight had stabilised.

How many stalls you’ll experience & how long they last (most tend to last 1-3weeks but can be more) will depend on your body & it’s needs.

Stick to your plan, don’t make big changes to stress (or confuse) your body more than your plan advises & the stall will break when your body is ready.

Stalls…stall…stalls! UGH, isn’t it frustrating!?

Its amazing how much that little number on the scale can affect your mood for the day when you see it not moving, it is truly a bad-mood-maker.

i’m not sure if it really helps but I just try to change things up a little bit, mix my meals differently, change up my exercise routine, etc. At least it makes me feel like I’m doing something. Sure enough the scale starts moving eventually.

Like others here have said, stick to the plan, monitor your intake, eat clean, etc.

Hang in there, stay determined!

Can you give us a little more info OP? On your type of surgery, stage, progress so far, etc? Stats on your BMI?

In any case - stalls are absolutely part of everyone's weight loss journey. Try not to get downhearted - they always always break if you stick to your plan.

If it's bothering you just don't weigh yourself for a few weeks.

Best of luck!

I stall about every 3 weeks or so. It does pass if you stay on plan.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
