The Weight Isn't Budging...



Recommended Posts

I have been stuck at 245-247 for 2 weeks. I am 4 1/2 weeks post op. i was 280 pre op and 260 day of surgery. Lose a pound, gain 2. Lose 2, gain a pound. It's been 1 heck of a seesaw!

But!!!!!!! I tried on some clothes that were very snug 2 weeks ago when I was still 246 and they fit now! I used to wear a size 18 jean and today I slipped ok a size 14! Just want to remind u all that even if the scale isn't moving, don't get discouraged. Tere are other ways Rolf judging an measuring :)

Wow my phone went autocorrect crazy on me. I meant size 15 not 14 and the last sentence should say there are other ways of judging and measuring lol

It's always nice to hear the reminder! I was at an almost 3 week plateau at 4 weeks post surgery. But you're right- my clothes keep feeling different even though the scale doesn't always move. Thanks for the post!!!! Keep up the good vibrations!

So I get these terrible headaches, And I just got sleeved 10/30/12, has anyone experienced the horrible headaches? I need to get some stool softeners also. When they say liquid foods after 1 week, would that be 11/06 for me, cream Soups, Mashed potatoes.

Hi! The headaches could be from the anesthesia. It can stay in your body for a really long time. As soon as you can, try to really up your liquid intake. And sometimes sitting in a steam room can help. But if they continue, please see your doc. Headaches can also be a result of high blood pressure.

Congrats on being sleeved!!

Hey skinnieminnie sounds like you're doing awesome. I stalled right before my period and now that it's started I'm losing again. I also have to eat low carb or else my weight loss stalls :/

      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. 🤞
