The first stall has arrived. For the past week I've been fluctuating between the same 2 pounds. It makes me really appreciate others that are in a stall because it certainly isn't easy so I am going to swallow my own medicine and just persevere through it.

It's all you can do, Matty. Be patient and stick to your program:)

Yup, good plan! It will end, and it is frustrating. I hope I can handle the next one in a more calm manner.

Dang! Sucks big green ones! You got this though. You're doing so well--just stay the course. Keep working the plan and carry on! (I feel your pain, though... :( *sniff* ((hugs and hang in there))

@Mattymatt Its not about how fast we run the race, its about crossing the finish line! We will all hit a stall once, twice, or even more throughout our journey. Its about staying positive and not letting it send you into a downward spiral.

Hang in there. I think I finally broke through my first stall - it only took 2.5 weeks and I am down to 249. First time I have been under 250 in over 5 years! I think I was so dehydrated my body was holding onto everything. Like every one says, follow the program and it will come off.

Apple, you didn't handle the stall badly at all.

Dealing with a "stall" myself as well, up and down over the same few lbs, BUT, my body fat has continued to decrease, so it's been much easier to deal with, love having a scale that measures body fat as well as weight, really helps put things into perspective, sure the weight might be floating up and down around the same point, but body fat is decreasing so that "weight" is muscle conversion and the solid foods in me. Just keep moving forwards!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
