You're doing great! Just stick to your plan - the stall will break eventually.

Your going well. I have lost a bit over double that but must of been alot heavier to start with. I got my sleeve done on July 17. I do find when i stall on the scales I seem to be dropping shirt and pants sizes quicker then when the scales say I'm losing weight

could be - starting BMI is one of the factors that affects rate of weight loss. So are age, gender, metabolic rate, activity level, whether or not you lost a lot of weight prior to surgery, etc. That's why it's sort of pointless for people to compare themselves to other. People are all over the board with this depending on so many things...

My surgery was 5 months ago today. I hit a stall at the 3 month mark, that lasted 3 weeks when the scale didn't move at all. However, I notices other changes- mostly in my clothes. Articles that were once a little snug on my arms, weren't. A shirt that didn't fit quite right, now looked good! I did some shopping last month & found I went from a 3X to a 2X or even a 1X, depending on the make. Pants, were 3X - now I was able to fit in a 20! I haven't worn a number that didn't have an "X" beside it in YEARS!! I found 5 pairs of pants in my closet that USED to be too small. They fit now! It's like having a new wardrobe without spending more $$$!! LOL!

Don't let the stall get you down. There's other things going on that you'll notice in time.

In the meantime - Keep on keepin on! You look great!
