Stall!!!
Ok, so I am 3-1/2 months post RNY, and have hit my first stall. It has been an entire week with no weight loss! I have read many posts about this, but when it happens to you, it gets REAL!!? I just wanted some encouragement this morning. I know this will pass, but I'm just a little discouraged. I have less than a pound to lose to get to my halfway point, so I hold my breath every day to see if the scale is going to move. Any suggestions on how to break the stall? I am eating right and working out like crazy!

There is no magic to break a stall. But it is a good opportunity to make sure you are weighing and logging every bite really, really closely. If you are, then you can be confident you are doing everything you can, and the stall will end when it's ready.

Welcome to the stall club.
I agree it can be frustrating, but focus on your clean eating and the proper plan, and how much better you feel now compared to 3.5 months ago, it will pass. Mine has slowed to a creep and stopped for going on 4 weeks now. I am changing things up to get moving again, but I feel great. I either need to chill more, or throw that damn scale out the window. LOL
I know, it's awful. I felt for sure I was going to be the gastric bypass failure and all of the crap I had gone through would be for nothing. Everything everyone has said has been good, hide the scale for a week, watch your calories, and up your water intake. That always seemed to break mine. I don't even stress about them anymore, it's weird.
Stalls suck ! They really do. But they end . Your doing great !!
