I'm 9 weeks out from surgery. Since I started my pre-surgery diet 11 weeks ago, I've lost 50 pounds...but now I have stalled (again) for the last week.

My hair is slowly falling out...even with Biotin.

Overall, I'm happy. This is the best decision I have ever made for my health...just frustrated with the stall!!!!!

I hate stalls too I have 30 more to go and it's like I am stalling it is very frustrating

But we can do it don't give up

I just posted the other day that I'm learning to love my stalls. I have noticed, over time, that during a stall my skin really tightens up and even though I'm not losing pounds my size seems to decrease. I think of it like sleeping. .. it's when my body heals and gears up for another loss. When I'm actively losing my skin gets all loose and I don't feel like I look as good but during a stall my skin gets nice and tight and I know I look better. It also gives me some insight as to how my body will look at maintenance. Our bodies need time to heal and to catch up with our agendas. Stalls are a healthy part of this process.

Thanks Seela, love your post. I hadn't thought of it that way and I have been losing pretty good. 5 months post op 55 lbs loss. I have only had a couple of stalls but I also am seeing some loose skin around my neck, I have lost a lot of fat from my face. If it doesn't tighten naturally I will have it dealt with at some point. Maybe it will tighten on it's own? I hope so! I need a stall it sounds like! I def agree that our bodies continue to change even when we are not losing per se.
