For those in a dreaded stall...

[madisunshine1 128]

I was in a stall for almost 4 weeks. Mind you I had my VSG on 8/2/16 so not even three months ago. I was -30 pounds for everrrrrrrr.

I finally broke free and I'm -40 pounds as of today. It happens. Dont stress or obsess. I did both. And self sabotaged at times. But I worked through the emotions and got a stomach bug (ha, lost two pounds bc of that).

Some days I don't feel like I look different. That may take a while. But I feel different. And I genuinely feel like if I never lost a pound ever again (god I hope not) but I wouldn't regret this surgery.

Because of this surgery I have lost 40 pounds. Wow.

Almost the same story here, lol, stalled at 30 lbs, down 40 now, surgery on 8/11. I started lifting weights at 6 weeks out and boy, has that made a huge difference. Like you, I feel so much better, I wouldn't care if I didn't lose much more. Still hoping for another 20 lbs, but so far, this has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Did those 30 lbs include what you lost before the surgery or just since the surgery?

Since surgery. Prior I lost maybe 9 lbs. but since surgery day I'm down 40.
