Im 2 wks post. Have only lost a few since. Are you still on liquids? If you're not getting alot of calories in this could be why. Our bodies are in starvation mode. I start mushy tomorrow. Once you start eating more normal foods we should start to see the numbers. I know it sux.

I'm almost 3 weeks out. Lost 17 and now the scale says I gained 4 back. Not sure how that is even possible being that I'm following the doctors orders. I'm very discouraged myself and feel like a failure.

Oh it will do that! Did that to me for 2 weeks then I just dropped 3 lbs in a week. So it was week 4-5 for me. Hang in there.

We all struggle with stalls. So I'm pretty much not going to focus on the scales and eat healthy. My weight has really slowed down according to the scale but I'm noticing by stomach has more loose skin as well as my thighs. I've gone down to a size 6 pants :). So there's no way your not going to lose weight. Eat Protein, protein, proteinn, and if able eat veggies. Eat to live andexercise. Oh it's important to drink a lot of Water. ;)

Hi guys.

Thanx for support and words of encouragement. New focus today. scales put in shed. Diarise everything I eat. Try drink more than a litre and walk walk walk.

See doc week tomorrow so we will see if it works.

Wish me luck.

How much did you lose pre-op??? If you lost a lot that makes a huge difference..

You could have hit your stall early.. There NO WAY that you won't lose weight.

Just keep doing what you are doing and the scale will go down ...Promise!!

I know people say this and I didn't believe it, but take your measurements regularly! I found when I was stalling was when I was actually getting smaller and when I was losing my size wasn't changing,

I have been on a stall since December, with only ONE pound lost, but I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8, so I know I'm still shrinking even though I'm stuck at 168.

I was 216 on my surgery date in September and have been 168 since december. We REALLY need to focus on size instead of scale numbers.

      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. 🤞
