Typically about 3 weeks! It's most likely your body is adjusting in inches. Have you taken any measurements yet? If not this is a great time to do it! Enjoy your ride. ;)

Are you working out? If so, you are building muscle and losing fat and muscle weighs more. I was thinking the same thing till I started taking measurements and realized I am losing inches. Give it a try.

I wish I would have stayed calmer because when it broke I lost an average of 1 to 2 pounds everyday. I'm still losing about one a day. It was frustrating but a good lesson in patience.

I stalled around 3 wks post op & it lasted almost 3.5 weeks. In the 2 wks since it broke I have lost 16 lbs, so don't let it upset you too much!!

I am in the 2nd week of a stall now. I have a friend who had the surgery and she told me it was going to happen and don't get discouraged. She said after she lost about 30 pounds she felt like she was stalling forever but when she came out of it she lost about 20 pounds without issue.

This sounds like what may be happening to me, ugh. I'm almost 2 weeks out and haven't lost anything for the past few days. I initially lost 21 lbs, GAINED 1 and now stalled. Way too soon!

      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.
