Stall?!!

Good morning all, I am feeling a little frustrated. I have lost 95 lbs to date, YAY I know, but I have not lost any weight in like 2 1/2 weeks!! I did buckle down and started exercising last week, upped my protein, and still no loss!! Any ideas suggestions. Just feeling frustrated. Thanks , Sarah

I think it's very typical. I was at my 6 month checkup this week and asked my DR. she said between 6-9 months post-op your body is starting to figure things out and the weight loss will slow down. Just keep doing what your doing and don't give up! Jan

It is very frustrating. I have been at a stall for 2 months. I have hired a personal trainer and I have upped by protein, and the scale still doesn't move. I guess it is just a part of the process. All you can do is keep going and eventually you will have to begin losing again. I have learned that just because the scale isn't moving doesn't mean you aren't losing inches. They say inches is what takes you to the next closing size. Keep your head up, you are not in this alone. We will have to encourage one another. Congratulations on the 95lbs!!! That's a whole person.

Hi Sarah, yep, my six-month followup appointment was this week, and I, too, was told the weight loss will slow down at this point. Have you taken your measurements? I've basically been at 156 (83 lbs down) since the 7th, although have still lost inches. Keep following your food and exercise program, and it WILL happen! We were so 'spoiled' the first five months with rapid weight lost, and yes, our bodies need to catch up with the sudden drops. Hang in there, keep a positive attitude, and hope you're pleasantly surprised very soon! Take care of you! Hugs, Patti

Thank you all for your support, I will keep on doing what I'm doing, and hope for the best!! And I will definately start measuring myself again! Sarah

Don't feel too bad. I hit 155 pounds of loss two and a half months ago and the scale hasn't moved since.

Hi Sarah I have not lost anywhere near 95 lbs (70 lbs for me) but I'm with you, I have not lost any weight in over 2 weeks. I'm a bit of a slow loser anyway but this is definitely frustrating! BUT if we keep doing what we are supposed to do, it will start moving again. Hang in there! Jezia
