I Think I May Have Stalled :(



Recommended Posts

Knew to expect this, but my scale hasn't moved in 3 days and I'm just barely two weeks out. It's very discouraging! I was losing so quickly and then it just stopped! I'm sad.

It WILL start again!! Your body needs some time to adjust. Beware: Your pants may fall off in the next few days. It happened to me during my first stall!! :) If you haven't already done it, take your measurements now so you can watch yourself shrink, even if the scale says you still weigh the same! :)

I was sleeved 4/24/12 and I'm in a stall. NUT said it was normal and there will be more stalls. Frustrating but as long as you do what you're supposed to there's nothing to worry about!! TOM will knock weight out of whack too!! In fact, surgery will knock TOM out of whack so most of us will experience some sort of stalls/gains/losses in irregular increments!! Enjoy the ride : )

I'm in the exact same boat - was losing about 2 pounds a day post-surgery, but the last four days have been 0 loss - 2 weeks out today, not totally discouraged, but worried what this means. I'm trying to stay in the "your body is doing what it needs" place but it's difficult, I have so much to lose, a stall this early is tough...

I just got out of a 3 week long stall and went down a size in clothing during that time. I mean one week I couldn't get into a pair of pants and the next it just slipped on easily. I had to triple check that I had the same pants.

From here on in, I'm on a mission to take the stigma out of stalls. I am convinced that they are good for you. I get more compliments during stalls that I get when I'm losing a pound a day by the scale.

They are going to happen and like Lissa says, your body needs to adjust and reshape. If you keep getting in your Water and Protein and sticking to the serving sizes you WILL lose the weight.

I'm 3 weeks postop and have been at a stall for the last 5 days. I was losing 1-2 pounds a day and it stopped. As a matter of fact one day I had gained 3 pounds. A little nerve wracking, but no regrets. I did have a good moment. I put a pair white pants in the cleaners and when I put them on yesterday, they were too big, LOL

      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. 🤞
