11 months post-op - major stall



Recommended Posts

I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I'm 11 months post-op and I've been at the same weight since April. I know I haven't been eating terrible, but I know I haven't been eating great either. I know I need to up my exercise too. Has anyone else stalled for this long and then been able to get back into routine and lose more weight? I've got about 40lbs to go. Just need some encouragement.

Get back to basics, Protein, protein, protein, and veggies. Weight does slow down the further out you get. Just get yourself back on track and go walking......You've done well so far so let's not stop here.... :P

Maybe your body is in starvation mode. Try upping your calorie intake if that is the case. I am sure you have made great progress, dont feel discouraged and think about how far you have come along!

I had a stall that lasted from April until a week ago. It was so frustrating but I kept going.

The one year stall is a beast!!!!!!!! :angry: my scale finally budged after weeeeks! 3 lbs! But I was happy to see it. I stayed on top of my Protein, Water, and stayed from fried process food. But it is a necessary evil. The body needs time to adjust. I just take pictures of myself. Last night I was going to weigh myself, instead I put an old dress of mine on and took pictures. Slept like a baby.

I am feeling so down .... I don't understand what's going on . I had my surgery Nov 13 , 2012 .. I lost about 50 lbs , but i have come to a complete stop . I have not lost a single ounce for about 3 months ..... people told me that maybe i wasnt eating enough ,,, but I know that i am not over eating and not under eating .... I am so deprssed that I threw out my scale . Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help ! has anyone gone through this ?? by this time I should have lost more.

It is very very sad to think that I went through all of this , and although i have lost 50 lbs ... I am still looked on as fat .

      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.
