The only thing that breaks a stall is time. The 3-5 week stall is something that every single one of us went through. Your body is in shock and just holds on for a couple of weeks. After that, the weight loss picks up.

It is not unusual.

It is nothing to be afraid of if you are a pre-op. Do a search for 3 week stall and you will see hundreds of people with the same experience. And every single one of them got through it and went on to lose a lot more weight.

Seriously - step away from the scale. Put it away. Try to focus on how loose your clothes are starting to feel and how different your face looks (we all lose the face fat first). At this early date there is no way on earth you are messing up the program. Adding Water or Protein may make you feel better, but the stall breaks when your body feels comfy enough to let the water go. Cals in are less than cals burned and this will always add up to weight loss.

Hang in there!

Excellent advice! As much as I do get frustrated with the slow weight loss I am experiencing, this is the pep talk we all need to hear!

Thanks!

I have had two stalls that lasted between 4-6 weeks, the first one was at 2 1/2 weeks! I am almost at goal. Do not compare your weightloss to others, you are NOT them. Just keep on track, and your weight will melt off bit by bit. Try and enjoy the ride! Sometimes its a rollercoaster (which we paid to ride on remember?) and sometimes its looks like its standing still. ALL NORMAL. I am almost at one year, and really, the time has flown by. I only lose about 2-3 pounds a month now, but its still going in the right direction. You will be here sooner than you think!

      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. 🤞
