3 Month Stall Anyone!?



Recommended Posts

Hello!! I am 3 1/2 months post-op, and have been losing weight consistently, maybe 6 days max, I have stalled but nothing major. But now...... its been 3 weeks!!!!!!! Ive increased Protein, more Water, more meals less meals, and so on and nothing. I work out twice a day and so I also wonder if its that! I feel like I am going to stay like this forever! has anyone been through a 3 month stall?! what did u do?

I had a stall at almost 4 months out and it lasted 7 weeks, just be patient as you can and it will pass!

It happens to everyone. Your body is just trying to hold on to your weight because your calories are low and it thinks your starving. It can't hold on for long. I have stalled 3 times on 6 months for 1-4 weeks. Just came off of my last 3 week stall and boom...I lost 3 lb in 3 days (this Friday, Saturday, and today). Just keep doing your diet and workouts. It will kick into gear.

You're not alone. I was sleeved on 5/30 and doing great. Then along comes July 24th and NO MORE WEIGHT LOSS!!!! I have been stuck at 273-275 since then. Finally I called the nutritionist out of desperation. He said my body was in shock and thought it was starving to death with the rapid weight loss, restricted calories and aggressive workouts. "Just stick to the plan." (Darn it! I wanted a "fix").

Well, today I weighed 271. I'm praying that this is my body figuring it out!!! Good luck! Hopefully that scales budges 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
