Wow congrats!!! I'm just at 3 weeks post op and for the past week have lost nothing. The first 2 weeks I lost 17lbs. I don't know what to change up. I'm drinking up to 16oz of Water, 1-2 Protein Shakes a day, Jello, and Soups typically. Why an I having a stall?

Hi....3 week post-op stall in normal. Sometimes it's at 2weeks, sometimes at 4. Just type in 3 week post op stall and you'll pull up a TON of info and posts. Also, 17 pounds the first 2 weeks is a LOT. Your body is probably saying "what the $%#!" and needs time to adjust.

Are you on a PPI like Prevacid or Prilosec? I know it might feel like hunger but it almost certainly is acid. It seems to start around week 3 post -op ( at least from the posts I've read here). I thought I was hungry too but it really was acid.....

Everyone is different but it does sound like a stall. Everyone has theirs at different points but try possible increasing your Water intake and see what happens. We get so caught up on Protein that we forget our water, especially in liquids phase. After the stall, i bet you will drop a lot!! dont give up!

Congratulations! You go, girl! Thanks for answering everyone's questions, too! You're an inspiration.

Of course! My Motto is "No big girl (or guy) gets left behind!!!!" If something works for me, i will tell everyone who can also benefit from it. YOLO :)

I am like right at my 2 weeks. I still have the steri strips on, they haven't fallen off and don't seem to be anytime soon:/ I just got a gym membership and a personal trainer and I really want to start. I have been walking but I want to do more. Any suggestions on what I can do? I emailed me doctor and waiting to here back but my PT wants to know when I can start like ab work outs or lifting minimal for resistance. Any ideas help!

theres lots you can do. you can bike, hike, do stairs, begin muscle building and begin strength building in your arms and legs. theres lots of stuff that doesnt directly involve the stomach but easily burns fat in that area. best of luck!

      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.

      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.
