I was sleeved three weeks ago and my weight loss is minimal. I'm lucky if I loose 1-2 pounds a week. Any recommendations or encouragement for me?

Search the forums for "three week stall". It happens to almost everyone.

keep up the great work. Your body needs time to recover - you'll start losing more in no time at all.

I stalled for an entire month and just broke the stall on Monday. Your body is basically in starvation mode right now because of the minimal amount of food your consuming. I am also a slow loser in general. At my 6 week check up I had only lost 22% of my excess weight and they expected me to be at 25%. What we have to realize is everyone is different and will lose at different rates. Give your body time to adjust. It most definitely will at some point. Good luck.

Sleeve Date: March 28, 2013 Weight on surgery date: 281 First Goal 50lbs: July 13, 2013 (231)

I'm almost two months out, and that's been my pace nearly the the entire time. I'm a revision (band to sleeve), and it's exactly what my surgeon predicted, with me staying between 600-800 cals most days.

Everyone's body is different. Your loss may speed up, it may not. The key is to stick with it, and avoid comparing yourself to others, IME.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I just wish family and co-workers would quit asking me how much weight I have lost every time I see them. I think this is why I feel so obsessed with the scale and my weight loss.

Wow, it's not really their business anyway. You can just say "I'm not sure, but I'm feeling great!"

Thats actually one of the reasons I did not told anyone about my surgery becuase I did not want anyone asking me how much have I lost.

Im with you girl! I am so frustrated now its beyond belief! I am 3 weeks, 3 days out and I have stopped loosing weight for 8 days now. I am down 11 since surgery, and lost way more on my pre op (17lbs). Its so frustrating because everywhere I look for advise I see/hear "You are probably not eating enough"...well eating more is not really an option is it??

At this point I am going back on liquids because food is too much of a hassle... I either get restriction pain or nausea.

Im not feeling very happy about my sleeve right now. :(

      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.
