My 1st birthday in 36 years with no cake ????

[kikicoates78 220]

I made it through! It didn't even really bother me!! I'm 17 days post op and finally feeling good! Yay for small steps. Only at about 26 pounds lost. I have stalled for 2 days but I read that it's normal so not stressing! #nobirthdaycakeWIN

Congrats on doing so well. Passing on the cake is a grest NSV!

Don't worry about stalls, it's just your body's way of adjusting to the weight loss. I found that if I just stuck to my food and calorie goals, the weight would start dropping again. I've gone through at least 1 stall about every 6 weeks during the 1st year, including the dreaded 3rd week stall - right after surgery.

During a stall, I tried to keep in mind that, pre-surgery, I would have been sooooo happy just to lose ANY amount of weight on a consistant basis - as long as I saw the scale moving down, instead of up.
