I'm just curious if anyone has heard of anyone around 6 months after wls not losing anymore weight? If you don't exercise and didn't go by the wls guidelines of eating protein,veggies/fruit and then your grains is it possible that you won't lose very much weight? From what iv researched people lose a tunn of weight but can/have gain it back but like I said is it possible to not lose very much? Just wondering!

Yup, it's a tool not a miracle. I pity those who enter into this with the idea they won't have to work their butt off exercising or following a healthy diet. Old habits are easy to fall back into if you don't take steps to avoid them while you have the chance.

Long you live and high you fly 
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry 
And all you touch and all you see 
Is all your life will ever be.

Like your wise posters have said so far, yup, yup, and yup to your three questions.  It isn't magic and it requires a commitment to change both activity level and diet.  But it gives you a window of time when both are much easier than pre surgery, at least imo.  You can open that window and crawl through or stay and the couch and return to your old presurgery self.  It is, like many things in life, up to you!

Could it be a stall?
