Most people have a stall at around the three week mark, but stalls can come anytime. Most people are stairstep losers - lose a bunch and then rest for a week or two, then lose some more and rest. I am one of the abberations who didn't really have any stalls (only one week where I didn't lose anything) during my entire loss period.

First off congrats on your 50 lbs in 6 weeks. That is amazing. Im just over two months out and have stalled twice at weeks 3 and week 7. When I started working out hard at the gym during week 7 my body stalled again trying to fight due to all the calories I'm losing. Youre doing great. Keep up the outstanding job.

Stalls can come at any time. I've seen people that stalled almost immediately after surgery. And then then there is people like me, I didn't stall till I hit 3 1/2 months then I stalled for 7 weeks. Keep the faith , you be vigilant in doing your part and your sleeve will not let you down.

I wish my stall didn't start until 6 weeks out. Try 10 days Post Op then you can complain about it being early ;)

At 10 days out you are still on liquids. I had the same problem but that all changed when I finally got to start eating food again! Just wait and it will happen!

A 7 week long stall. That must have been tough, mentally.

It was frustrating. But I've seen stalls that were 4 months & I knew I hadn't stalled yet, so I didn't allow myself to get discouraged. I just really hated posting every week that I was "still stalled". I really felt bad puting that out there as I was afraid it could discourage others.

I hadn't stalled once, now I'm 3.5 months out and in my 3rd week of this stall. It's annoying jumping on the scales and not seeing them move, but I have lost a lot so far, so as long as I'm not gaining, I'm ok.

I stalled the entire 3rd month, but went down 4 pant sizes. Just busted the stall yesterday. All the sudden 4 lbs gone in 3 days. Yay!

      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.
