Today is day 11 of my first stall. I've been lucky up to this point.

I'm on day 12 of my stall. I'm 17 weeks out and down 90 pounds. So frustrating. I been eating well and going to the gym. Only to gain a pound or 2 and then lose it again. Hopefully I will start losing again. I just try to stay positive and tell myself I'm losing inches.

This Wednesday coming will make 8 weeks post-op and I'm in my 2nd stall. The first was at 23 pounds, now I'm stuck at 30 pounds. I really wanted 40 pounds by 8 weeks but it's not going to happen.

For ME...I think I need to stop things that have Splenda/sucralose in them. I remember from my time at the DFC--Duke Diet & Fitness Center--when I switched to Splenda instead of Sweet & Low, I could NOT lose weight. It's 'made from sugar so it tastes like sugar'. I am positive that my body treats it like sugar and I do NOT lose weight when I use it regularly. I went back to S&L.

In the past week or so, I've been doing more Isopure and other stuff, and not one pound. I need to back off. For me, in part, it's the Splenda. I know folks like it, but its pattern in MY body is clearly established. Might be something for others to consider.

We are the exact same weight loss, stall and surgery date Lol. I cut out all artificial sweetners. I add a little agave nectar to coffee or drizzled on my oatmeal if I need it. I have no sugar issues though.
