I am almost 5 months out and have been stuck at 258 for over 2 weeks now. I know everyone goes through these stalls but I need some encouragement on the fact that this is not the end of my weight loss.
Before Surgery: 342
Current: 214

We had surgery about the same time.  When I have a stall, I just keep going to the GYM and feel the inches go.   These stalls happen to keep us on trak.  Go back to protein-water-protein-water.  I enjoy suger-free popsicles too, my little treat.  Things Will change.....hang in there.

I get in those stalls too, increase your water and remember you have to eat to loose. You are probably losing inches instead of weight. Good luck!

I have been having 2 week stalls since the third month.  In the beginning it bothered me alot but now I realize that it is just me.  I definitely increase my fluid intake when this happens and I increase my protein a little bit and try to change my menu.  This usually works by "shocking" my system back to reality.  But the days of me having a 5 pound weight loss a week have ended.  I average about 2 pounds a week and then have a 2 week stall.  My nut says it is how I am. 

So I understand how you feel cause even though I knew it happened to everyone, I didn't want it to happen to me!  It will be ok.  Good luck.

I think we all have stalls.  I started getting mine in the second month!  I went nuts.  I now am used to it.  I was just in a 2 week stall myself.  Lost nothing.  I only lose about 2 lbs a week myself.  I might lose a bit more coming off a stall but not regularly.  It seems like I could lose weight faster before my procedure but it sure wasn't as steady as this.  I will be 5 months on the 22nd.  It is fast approaching.  I did want to be a bit farther out but I am happy I suppose.  You haven't said what you have lost so far but I bet it has made a big difference so far in your life.  Keep up the good work and hang in there.

We had our surgery just a day apart.  I understand your frustration, I too have been at a stall for a couple of weeks.  I have lost about 80 lbs and I see that you have lost 93 lbs.  Yeah for us!  These stall seem to be a regular thing for me each month so I am use to them,  The wt will start moving down again soon, just be patient.  I know that I have not been drinking all of my water and so I will start doing that again and see if it helps.  Good luck on your stall and remember, you're doing something right, 93 lbs.   Hugs~Donna
