Stalls and slow downs do happen. Make sure you are getting all your water and protein in. Also my program says no carbonation ever and alchohol after 6 months if its a must but should be avoided.
Well and you are doing great !!!!

Totally normal you will have stalls from time to time.

I was told never on the carbonated and alcohol

I am about 9 months out and I was told no soda ever again. I am not always one to do what I'm told to so I did take a teeny tiny sip of a coke and it was waaayyy too much carbination for me. It hurt. I will not ever be drinking anything with carbination again. That said I have heard of people drinking soda after GBS. I just don't want ot stretch the pouch. Alcohol is allowed in very small quantities on my plan. BE CAREFUL! We process differntly now and it takes only one shot to get drunk! I joke with my friends that I am a cheap drunk now LOL! Honestly I'm not a drinker but once or twice a year I like to enjoy a margarita or two. As far as when it's ok ??? I am an experimenter by nature and usually do my own thing when I feel I am ready for it.
Do what's right for you. Just be careful.

Congrat's on your progress!!! That is fantastic. It is normal to slow down. Your body is going through major adjustments. You may need to adjust calories if your not excersizing enough. I also do not exercise enough and so I am very cautious of intake. I have pretty much reached where I am going to end up - I think. If I really pushed hard I think I could loose another 10-15 lbs but I don't want to push that hard. I want to enjoy now!! The last year was such hard work. I am content with where I am. I went from size 22 pushing into a 24 to size 8. So very glad I was able to have this surgery.

Sorry to be so long winded. I love this group and love to share.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

It is totally normal to slow down and have plateaus. Just stick to your program, make sure you are getting at least 70 grams of protein a day, take your vitamins, drink lots of water, move as much as you can and get at least 7 hours of sleep. The program works

No soda. Ever.

If you had RNY, you need to be very cautious with alcohol. It hits our system at 10 times the rate it did pre-surgery and can be really hard on our livers. You should wait until 4-6 months to try alcohol...and I'd recommend trying it at home before you try it in public.
