Ratsack, I'm sure all of us have felt something similar to this at some point or another, but we have to remember that we didn't get this big overnight, and we won't lose it all overnight either. When not losing weight, you'll be losing inches. If not inches, then your desire for junk food. If not that, then your sanity! (just kidding about that last one)

It takes time and we have to be patient, and we also need to look back on how far we've come since deciding to have the surgery in the first place. That decision did not come easily, I bet, and look how far you've come already! Hang in there.

This is common and to be expected as your body integrates. Just stick with your program!

This is not the last pause you will have. You will have a LOT more along the way

Hey Marty. I have had stalls, not lost as much as others who had surgery around the time of mine or later. I have been very frustrated until I set myself down and said "Self you are you, your body is yours, so be happy and satisfied with what is going on with you." Let's be happy with ourselves, we are all we have and each one of us are very special and only us. Let's love ourselves. That said, doesn't mean we will follow that advice, but let's try. I love all of you and love following all of your stories and trials, but Gosh Darn It, I love me, you all do the same. You hang tough Marty, we are all with you and understand.

Yep! It can be frustrating. Like everyone said, you stop, you stall, you start downward again, etc...My body absolutely shocked me when after 18 months I thought I had reached my "set weight". However, over the last 6 months I've lost an additional 15 pounds. Go figure?
Yes, go figure. After replacing most of my wardrobe, my "new" clothes are hanging on me. I'm not worried or disappointed by the extra weight loss. It just puts me on the lower range of what is considered a healthy weight. Our bodies are amazing mechanisms. You just have to go with the slow and the flow.
