No weight loss for 2 weeks :(



Recommended Posts

I've had one fill, and go for my second on August 10th (3 month check up). I'm really getting disappointed in myself. So many ppl post losing weight almost daily, then here I am staring at the same number every day. Has anyone else plataued this early?

It's not uncommon to plateau or even gain after you go back to solid foods. Hang in there. It'll start coming off again.

It happened to me to and I was worried but I go through waves. As long as the overall trend is going down, I'm not worried any more.

Congratulations! You've lost 41 pounds in 3 months! That is great progress. Remember, everyone's journey is unique. You cannot compare yourself to others, it will just drive you crazy.

I know for me, I didnt lose for a couple of weeks. Come to find out, I wasn't eating enough. I was only eating about 800 calories a day. Once I increased to 1000-1200 I started losing again and have been losing consistently.

Good Luck with your second fill. I am sure the scale will start to move again.biggrin.gif

Weightloss isn't consistent nor linear. You won't lose weight on the scale every week, doesn't work that way. Maybe focus more on NSVs and measurements. Two weeks without a decrease on the scale is hardly a stall/plateau.

Good luck!

You're definitely not alone.... I feel like it's been just about 2 weeks that I've stared at 230 point "something" on the scale... Just in the last 2 days I made sure to write down every single thing I was eating, focusing on Protein g and amount of Water... At my next appt I want to bring it so maybe the dr can let me know if there's anything I need to change. May be a helpful idea for you as well!

Also- I count my g of Protein, not calories.... Which is best to focus on???

Yes, I agree with Jen. I wasn't losing because I wasn't eating enough. Me too about 700-800 calories a day. Now I am eating 1000 cal a day and I have been able to lose 3-4lbs a week. Definitely recommend eating more. Good luck!

Your calories..you need to track fats, carbs, and protein.

Yes, track all of that! It's true. It helps me also to just write down everything that I put in my mouth and to also keep track of how much Water I drink too. I've also been keeping an exercise log.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
