Hi, this is normal, i stalled at about 3 1/2 months and then lost another 15kg. What my mum always told me to.. you wont loose weight you loose size. You will see what i mean. Dont worry your body will start loosing again soon :)

Thanks for the reply Kim. I have realised though that i lose weight faster if i keep switching food types. Will this work for the stall?

Our surgery date is the same! You're doing so much better than me though. ;)

I've also been fluctuating between the same three pounds for two weeks. I've been exercising more, getting my Water intake in, and being more vigilant about taking my Vitamins. Not really sure what the deal is.

To be honest i never tried it. It could however. My mum and aunty had the surgery a few years before me and with me being only 20 when i had it they had alot to teach. They say your body goes into shock and tries to hold onto everything it can in the begginning. Hence the stalling or plauting. Try changing foods. Let me know how it goes.

Thats great Mina :) Pleasure to meet you.

Believe me its not about me doing better than you or better than anyone else its just that each body deals with weight loss differently.

What i strongly suggest you do is suprise your stomach/body every now and then by changing the type of food you eat (healthy food) and also change your workout routine regularly. What i am trying to say is "trick" and "shock" your body and you should get good, healthy results.

What really works for me is a protien shake in the morning on my way to work and another shake before bed.

Hope this helps.

Rico, I'm I the same spot a you. Sleeved Nov. 21st and stalled out for two weeks. I started drinking a shake first thing in the morning these past few days and Finally dropped a pound!! Also upped my walking routine. Good Luck, I know you'll break your stall. :)

Rico: this is normal. I've had really long stalls but I was losing in inches! That is even better for me. But you are 11 lbs away from your goal and it might be harder to loose the last 11 lbs.

If you haven't taken any measurements, this is an excellent time to measure your body. Take measurements of your chest, waist, hips, thighs, arms, and calfs. Plus are your cloths getting looser? Do you need to buy new cloths? Those are tail tail signs of loss.

Keep Rockin that Sleeve! ;)

      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. 🤞
