Been in a stall for almost 2 weeks. I can feel my clothes getting loose, and I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to, so hopefully the scale moves soon.

Honestly, do you guys see a difference?

Starting weight in January: 299

Day of surgery (July 3): 289

Current weight (July 29): 262

Don't mind the messy hair or shlumpy appearance lol. I'm a severely tired momma who hasn't slept a full night in almost 2 years!

And a current head shot..

Yes! I see a huge difference!!! You are looking great. I find that when I am in a stall- like now- I think I am still loosing inches even though the scales are not moving. What do you think?

I see a smaller stomach and a much-better defined waist! Yes, there's a difference. Congratulations!

You're doing awesome! I stalled for two weeks in my first 4 weeks, but continued dropping the inches. Don't worry about the stalls, they'll come and go, just keep doing what you're supposed to and you'll be fine!

Thanks everyone! It's a little disappointing when I get on the scale every morning and it isn't moving. I've actually been losing/gaining the same 2lbs for almost 2 weeks. But I'm getting all my Water and Protein, and I'm walking everyday, so I'm sure the scale will move eventually!

I am a pre-op and I definetly see the difference in your stomach, waist and arms. Great job. I have been told not to weigh myself everyday after surgery, but I am sure I will be doing the same thing. Keep up the good work.

I'm 3 weeks out today and broke my week long stall by upping calories, Protein, and carbs a bit... i think my body was in starvation shock from the first two weeks! If you can up your Protein even, that might help... going from 55 to 60 g protein to 80 to 90 g protein seemed to do it for me.

BTW, your arms are like shrinking and you look great... don't get discouraged... this is a marathon, not a race and you will need "stalls" at various points to catch your breath!

My dr told me your body is changing the most dutiful the times you are not losing at all on the scale . I'm lost 17 lbs my 1st week but haven't lost a pound this week ( scale just keeps playing with 2-3 lbs). Weird to plateau this fast ??

I can tell a difference for sure. Keep up the good work! I am on a three week stall. I just keep telling myself that it will pass but it's getting frustrating. I never eat above 750 calories. I am almost two months out and have only lost 26 pounds. Maybe I expect too much too soon but I feel like during this stall that my clothes are getting loser. You're pictures are encouraging because I can definitely tell a difference. Are these ictures taken during your stall period?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
