So, how long do these "stalls" last?

Cause this one's been almost three weeks now!

Well mine seemed to last forever! I think it was about 2 or 3 weeks. Your body needs to adjust to weight loss that you had after the initial surgey. Don't worry I am sure that it will start again soon.

my last stall was 17 days!

Well, that makes me feel a bit better. I had decided to stay away from these boards because of all of the "I've lost 23 pounds in one week" posts, it was really hard seeing that everywhere when I've been stalled and am not doing anything wrong. I'll ride it out till it's over I guess, not really much else I can do, now is there?! Thank you for your post

I've been stalled too, actually I think I've gained a little I don't know what to do, I'm trying to up my exercise. I've started a step aerobics class and am using a treadmill and exercise bike at the Y. hopefully I'll start horseback riding in the next couple weeks too. maybe that'll get me out of this. it's so discouraging. my depression is coming back full force

Oh I hear ya! It's depressing that I can only eat three bites at each meal, and then on top of that, not losing any weight? Makes me wonder why the hell I did all this to myself anyway?

Sorry to hear about your stall, but you are probably losing in inches. Please don't get discourage it will start again. I know if I don't drink enough water my weight loss slowed down. Best of luck!!

Dani you are sweet Thanks for trying to make me feel better!

Are you getting in enough calories from food? I noticed you talked about eating just a few bites. My weight stalled when I was not getting enough food into me. It went into starvation mode and I stopped losing. So, my advice, review your intake and hopefully you are getting at least 600 but better would be 800 calories a day to keep you body in a losing mood. Best of luck and try not to get too down!

I'm trying Sharra, but when I start eating, a few bites in, more often than not it becomes painful so I just quit eating. I'm trying to chew more and eat slower, but it seems I just always find myself with pain in my chest. I'll keep trying to eat more calories a day and find out if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
