Stalling Still



Recommended Posts

Do a search for three week stall. Just about everyone goes through it. Normally it doesn't last but a few weeks. Mine lasted 3 months. :wacko:

It's your body trying to adjust, or find equilibrium, as I normally put it. Don't try to "fix" it - just be patient. Changing up a bunch of things to try and "fix" it could make it worse. If you hit 5, maybe 6 weeks of stall then start reviewing what you're doing. But until then just keep up your hydration and Protein. It will pass, guaranteed.

Read the link to the article in my sig. It will explain why the scale isn't moving. Initially your body was just burning all your excess glycogen stores, along with quite a bit of Water weight. After 3 weeks or so your body starts to replenish all that glycogen along with all that water. It has to for you to have any energy. But it has nothing to do with your fat content. You're still burning fat, but the water gain is equalizing your weight. Soon the water and glycogen reserves will be restored and your weight will begin to fall.

      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.
