Is anyone else at a stall?

Is anyone else currently in the midst of a stall?  I am really getting frustrated, this is the longest one yet.  It's the start of week 3 and I haven't lost anything!  It's very psychological, because I am always scared this is it.  I sure hope not, I just got to the halfway point!  I know it didn't come on overnight and I know it won't go off overnight, but ya know what I mean?  Guess I just need to know others understand! 
Please don't let this be it!

I am right there with you.  I also have the same fears but I just keep telling myself that the weight will start to drop again.  Hang in there!

I didn't have the same surgery as you!  I did have a 1 month stall, even gained 4 pounds.  But, after a fill I got the four pounds and a couple more off.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

I'm always at a stall 

Seriously...I usually lose 5-10 lbs in a few days, then stall for 3 weeks.  Rinse then repeat.  It's what my body likes to do.  I even gain two lbs as a general rule.

It's very frustrating but I'm almost 100 lbs down so I'm not complaining too much.  It makes me always feel like I'm not really losing fast though.

Thank you all for the replies!  I am so paranoid, I can't believe it!  My co-workers are like "damn you have lost 83 lbs in 4 1/2 months", but negative Nellie that I am says, "That's all?  That's it!"

How much is everyone eating now?  I have been wondering if I am overeating but I really don't think so.  Here is an example breakfast:
6 jerky nuggets
1 waffle w/light cream cheese
6 pineapple chunks

I think that is pretty rounded out.  Sometimes I have cheese instead of the waffle.  
I would love to hear sample meals from everyone!  Thanks!

I'm right there with you. I have found that usually after I stall for a few weeks I drop 5 pounds rather quickly. Hang in there! I'm stalled at 201.5....so close to the 199 mark but just seem to be hovering over 200 pounds to drive me crazy!

I'm hoping to break the stall soon. I started running today. That's right...I RAN! I haven't run in years. It felt painfully wonderful.

Running - Wow - I don't think my knees or ankles could handle it - I had my RNY on June 3.  Started out at 243 and am at 207ish - i want to see under 200 so bad but am in a stall - i keep thinking this is it - this is all i am going to lose - i bragged so much about how much weight i lost daily or weekly that people are now expecting me to give them a lower number and I feel like a failure that I haven't given them a new number.  - Your post encouraged me

I hate those stalls....

Remember to keep tract, mind grazing, mark everything that goes into your mouth... Be active, work out... Maybe your body just need a change and is getting comfortable doing the same thing.. challenge your body! And when u have dont this, then u will know ur doing ur best... have you lost inchs??

Yes I believe I have still lost inches.  I haven't measured, but I am sure things are shifting around because my underwear is about ready to drop off my butt.  LOL  It's great because I have NEVER had that problem before.  I guess I am just playing catch up!  I have to keep journals for my insurance company so I can have the plastics after a year, so I pretty much know everything I am eating and so does everyone else!  LOL  I think I am going to increase my exercise again.  I don't know how much more I can do though, I do something every day already for at least 30 minutes.  Gonna have to mix it up somehow though!  Thanks for the reply!  Have a great day!
