Sorry you're going thru a tough time.  It's ok to rant...we all have our moments when we get frustrated.  I think the thing is to change it up a bit.  I hovered in the 150's for 10 weeks.  I just couldn't get to 149 and I was being so good.  Exercising more, eating what I'm supposed to, and still that scale would barely move.  Then we went on a cruise.  I was depressed that the clothes I bought in anticipation were still too small.  I had to go out last minute and buy a few things that fit.  I gained 4 lbs. on the cruise, which I expected.  When I got home on May 7, I was 154.  Today I was 144.  I did cut back my carbs and actually have not exercised since because I hurt my foot.  So 10 lbs in 10 days without exercise.  I am totally amazed!  Now I'm only 4 lbs from goal!  I can't help but think it's because of the change in my routine.  Hang in there.  Try something different.  Up your protein, lower your carbs.  Change up your exercise.  Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your kind words.  In disgust, I protested life and went to bed early last night. So this morning I am trying to have a fresh outlook  on things.   Yes I jumped on the scale and yes it says the same damn thing so its not a fluke but I am going to try doing a few protein shakes today , moving a bit more and changing some other things up.  Time to just start over again......

Im just so frustrated because I have my 6 month appt with surgeon on June 3 and my 6 month surgiversary is 6/21 ...I wanted to be over 100 pounds....wanted to be at  -104 which would put me at 299 which would be my lowest weight in 15 yrs. I dont see it happening now because it would mean I would have to lose 28 pounds in a month....sigh......back to the grind

I have sooooo far to go ...

I am sorry,  I have been there, I was in a stall for 1.5months it took forever to break.  I agree with the other posters, I don't think you really gained 6lbs of fat, it most likely is water.  So, today, and the next week, concentrate on protein, that will get rid of any water weight you may have and it might help break the stall.  Continue with exercise, it might feel like it is hurting your weight on the scale but it is helping. good luck
