 Stalling is very common. Your body has to go through the "WTF" stage and adjust. That usually occurs at a couple months out. If it lasts more than a couple of weeks at this point you really need to take a look at what you are eating. Change up your exercise. If you've been doing the same routine day in day out, your body will remember that and not burn calories as effectively as it first did. It is also possible that you are not eating enough. Sound strange but you do need to eat to loose. 

November 9th 2011 was my start of my new life.  As of Feb. 9th I lost 62 lbs.  I had the gastric sleeve.  I walk up to 2 miles a day and feel great.  Thanks guys for your comments

Well - there are MANY different protein drinks and supplements.  It comes down to your tastes....once you find one you like, you can search via google for a good price...

If you're pre-op, don't buy a ton, because your tates will change after surgery (it'll come back - but changes post-op when it comes to protein - it's like the taste buds "awaken")

Good luck!
