I have had some really long stalls. What broke my last one was I got injured. I was quite literaly in the recliner for 2 days and only got up to go to the bathroom. Everything I ate or drank my husband brought to me and frankly I was in so much pain I wasn't interested in eating. Once I saw my orthopedic surgeon and got the knee drained, I was pain free and able to get around better, but still not really interested in eating much. When I weighed myself after that I had lost 4 pounds that week! So I figured out what I had eaten daily on average (calorie and protein) and adjusted my eating to copy that. Since then, I have been losing consistently again, no not the 4 pounds, just about a pound a week which is what I should be losing. Anyway, go back to when you were losing consistently and do those calories and protein again. That will end your stall.

Regardless of what surgery we picked, we will all have stalls. I had a 6 month stall starting about 6 months post-op. However, I had lost the majority of my weight and wasn't really concerned about it.

However, from these forums, and various other websites, as well as my surgical team all say the same thing. Eat protein, protein, protein. I've also noticed that on my best weeks, when I made protein oriented choices, I lose more weight. I have to eat something 150 gm of protein a day for good consistent weight loss.

We've all been there. You will be able to break out of it, you just have to change your routine. If you exercise, switch up what you do. If you've been training hard, maybe do a week of just cardio. I know the routine I'm on I do a month of weight training two days a week, then just do a week of cardio.

Hang in there! It's not a race to get down as fast as you can. Just take it slow and steady. I figured I have a lifetime to live with my RNY surgery.
