how long will this stall last?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved 12/10 lost 16lbs the first week and a half. Haven't lost a thing since. Some days it goes up a pound or so then we'll come back down. But hasn't gone any lower than my initial lowest.

I've been following my plan, I'm on purees now, should I be concerned or is this normal?

I was thinking maybe I would call my nut on Monday just to check with them.

Any thoughts? I hear about the 3 week stall how long does it last?

Depends on the person. Mine was about 2 weeks. I gained 2 pounds, but went down a size anyway :P

I'm not even sleeved yet and I'm enduring a long stall. I'm on 800 calories a day and lost 20 pounds during the first two weeks.... Then GAINED a couple back and now I'm just sitting at the same weight for the past two and a half weeks. I'm praying for this to end soon. I KNOW it's normal but I don't have to LIKE it!!!

I am right at 3 month post op. I have been on a stall for 5 or 6 weeks now, but I have also lost a size in shirts. Other people can tell I am losing weight. scales is not showing it though.

I'm at about 5 and half months, I stalled around 3 and half and I'm STILL STALLED. I'm super irritated. It's not suppose to last for 2 months.

I stalled about the same time! It lasted a month, and then finally I lost 2 pounds. It is so frustrating, because you get used to the numbers falling and the weight going away then bam.. nothing.

I just try really hard to change something from what I've been doing, and that always seems to get the scale moving again.

Thanks all. And sorry to those that are stalling as well.

I just thought it would come off a little faster.

For me it was like I would lose weight then stall as I lost inches... It's like I lost fat and then my remaining fat moved around before losing more??? It's not scientific but that's what it seemed to me.... You will lose just give it some time.... 126 lost and very happy. I had many stalls though!!!

I agree. I just sit down today and cried. I dropped a size in shirts, but I want to see those pounds moving again.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
