Longest stall?

Hi all, I gained those 3lbs last week, and have stalled now for almost 2 weeks. what is the longest anyone has had a stall of weight loss. I am getting really depressed. Thanks for listening. Lynn

I once stalled for 3 weeks, it is a horrible time, but know that you will start to lose again.

Thanks so much for responding, it helps to know that I am not alone. I will keep my chin up.. Lynn

4 months and counting...I am in it right now. kathy

I have stayed at 182 to 185 for five weeks now. I keep finding some clothes that fit a little bit better. I am diabetic and my numbers are improving. I am holding my own. I am NOT freaking out. I keep reading the posts and proiles of folks who have passed a year since WLS. This, too, shall pass. Since surgery, I have lost 58 pounds. My ultimate goal is 100 pounds so I am happy.

I am right there with you...been stalled for @ 5 weeks & it is driving me crazy!! I keep going between 213 & 218 and just can't seem to get past that point. I really wanted to hit 100# down at the 6mo mark, but doesn't look lie it is going to happen. Oh well, I just keep telling myself it will pick back up again...this is not over yet. I think I will try the stall buster diet for the next 10 days & see if that helps at all. Good luck to everyone & Happy Memorial Day! My hubby served 2 deployments in Iraq and this Memorial Day was a very emotional one remembering the friends we lost & being thankful that he wasn't one of them. Thanks to all who took a moment out today to remember! Alison

I'm stalled right now too. I've noticed that the closer I get to goal the more often I stall. I try to look at it as my body trying to settle into this new weight. I've never been this small before. It can be very depressing but I always seem to drop a size during a stall so...look out 10s here I come!! Hoping your stall ends soon, Chawan

I am too at a stall and have been for about a week. I have lost 93 lbs. Gone from a size 24 to a 16. I am very upset about my stall and don't know how to make the weight loss pick back up. Do any of you?

have you tried Plateau Buster Diet #1 - Do this for 10 days to break a plateau #2 - Drink 2 quarts of water a day #3 - You must have 45 grams of protein supplement and all your vitamins/minerals supplements each day (some suggest at least 60 and up to 80 gr) #4 - You may consume up to 3 oz of the following high protein foods, 5x a day beef pork chicken turkey lamb fish eggs low fat cheese cottage cheese plain yogurt or artificially sweetened (?) peanut butter beans/legumes You may also have: sugar free popsicles tea or coffee sugar free soda sugar free jello broths/bullion (sp?) crystal light drinks #5 - If it's not on the list, you can't have it for 10 days!!!! #6 - Keep a food diary and try to get up to 30 mins of exercise

I have been at 151.8 for about 4 weeks. Then this morning it was 151.0. Sure hope it goes down some more. Good luck, Jodi
