Im wondering did any of the men experience stall in the first six months of surgery? If so how long did they last?

I do not recall any stalls to speak of in the first 6 months. If I did have a stall it would have been for less than a week. I did not notice my weight loss really slowing down until around 9 months and completely leveling off around 18 months.

BTW - When I'm monitoring my weight I normally try to limit my trips to the scale to once a week.

I have had stalls up to about a week and a half. It always worries me and then I start losing again.

I've upped my exercise to shake up my metabolism to see if I can start losing again it's just a matter of time

Pretty hard to believe a stall that early. I'd take a look at your diet for things you shouldn't be eating!!!

Holy crap man, it's only been two months, Ill bet there is some possible bad food decisions that could affect your weight loss???

I thought that and checked that I'm eating from the lists given to me average about 4oz a meal and drink all my fluids, will just give it time after all we are all different, and I'm 56lbs down since op so must have been doing something right.

I say lets open this up to everyone, Ill bet there are a few of the ladies that would love to contribute there opinions here, they more than likely wont be favorable, but hey, dont ask, dont cry is the motto!!

Especially after reading back some of the OP posts!!!

I think I see a pattern????

Whatever, as I said I've not changed my diet other than advised and I feel i've lost well up until then. I weighed this morning at normal time and was 2lb down the only thing i've changed is mixing up my exercise regime, so if as you say you doubt it was a stall this early out then I don't know, that's why I posted and whats the pattern????
