The dreaded STALL
(second stall, 6.5 months post op) Oh my those first 100lbs came off great and the next 27 were hard work...now I have had no loss for about 3 wks...up and down with the same 5lbs...uhh! Eating doing the same...uhhh! Knew it was bound to happen...and I think its worse b/c I'm so close to onederland...?!?!
Just wanted to vent, thanks for letting me.

Stay strong...I am 10 months out. I stalled twice once about 6 months and the other around 8ish. Stay strong...when you least expect it it will just fall off. Hitting onderland is an amazing feeling. I weigh less now than I did when I went into highschool. It's an awesome feeling!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!

I have found in my stalls, that even though the scales quit moving, I was still losing inches. We lose so much initially, so fast, that it takes body time to catch up with scales, I think.
