You've lost a large amount of weight in 2 weeks. Great start. Weight will keep dropping if you keep following your plan. You may not see a drop every day or every week even but it will continue. Your body is still healing from major surgery and needs to adjust every so often to dropping the lbs. Good luck on your journey!

2 weeks post op' date=' I've lost 20 lbs.... How is everyone else doing? I think I'm beginning to feel frustration!

I am 2 weeks PO on Monday and I too have reached the stall. Including my 2 week pre op diet I am down 30lbs. It is frustrating to me because I'm not able to eat anything and I'm still not losing, but it makes sense that there is an adjustment period!!! Keep your head up, you're not alone!!! Hope you're healing well!!! :)

Exactly how I'm feeling... Can't eat, & slow process... Thank you for the well wish, healing pretty well, but still very sore along with gas & what feels like terrible reflux!

Don't be frusrated, you are only 2 weeks in. You knew going into this that it takes longer than 2 weeks. There will be stalls and its ok. In my stall days i think my clothes actually got looser during those days than when i was losing. Hang in there and remember this will take time.

Sorry, but I can't find any way to say this that doesn't sound mean - cause it's not meant to be. It's only a reality check.

Buuuuut, Really?????????? Two weeks post op and already stalling? You might want to consider having a sleeve revision. :P

Yes, 2 weeks and stalling wasn't expected, had no idea it would happen so soon. I just wanted to hear other stories of if in fact it has happened to anyone else!

A large majority of us stall between the 2-3 week. Just keep doing what your doing and it will start up again eventually.

I think it would be a big ask of our bodies to sustain that sort of weight loss continuously. I'm just a couple of days over 3 months post op and have had several short periods of stalling and even twice regained a little weight - and I'm post menopausal so can't blame Fluid and hormones! Always comes right in the end.

Post sleeve we eat such ridiculously low calories, ( are you tracking your food so sure of your calorie intake?) that you WILL eventually continue to lose weight. Either than or you're a medical miracle!

      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. 🤞
