3 month stall-weight loss h-e-l-l



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 months post op and haven been the same size for about 3 months now. I have been under and overwhelming amount of stress that doesn't seem to end (husband lost his job, my father-in-law who I was very close to passed away, my office moved and I was in charge of 90% of the work). I'm so depressed. I wonder why I did this to myself. No, I'm not eating as well as I should be. I'm not writing stuff down. Maybe I should do the 5 day pouch test? Anyone else going through weight loss hell too?

How much have you lost to date. I'm 5 month out as well and I have slowed down on the weight loss as well. As we get closer to goal weight it will get harder that's for sure. So far I'm down 130lbs and most of it in the first 3 months. I'm 35lbs from goal and if I didn't loss another pound I would be happy with where I'm at. If your not eating right don't blame the surgery. As everyone has said, including the Drs, this a tool not magic. We still have to work hard to get to where we want to be. Good luck and I hope your stall ends soon.

3 Month Stall here. And to compound the nuisance, my hair has started to fall out-- after I wash my hair it looks like I'm pulling out a "mouse" out of the drain. So right now, not too proud. BUT still-I feel better in my clothes and I pray my hair will come back in. I figure-or hope-that everything will get back to a semblance of normality. Hope you get your weight loss kick-started again!

      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. 🤞
