I am 8 mo post op, and I have stalled. It is brutal! I am thinking I need to change things up. I had quit the Protein Shakes, but I think I am going to start them again. Trick my body. My surgeon said I could stop the shakes and just eat natural protein- but I think the issue is im not really hungry so I pick on things, some not so great! Going back to basics!

Stalling sucks I have hit another the only thing that I can do is up Protein and Water intake. I still limit myself to 800 or so calories which might not be good since on the 9th I will be 5months out.

I think exercise is key and I've slowed down these past 2 weeks:( I'm emotionally eating things I shouldn't be because my cat is very sick :( it really stinks I thought Weight loss was going to be easier !! I guess it's definitely back to Protein shakes !

Im 5 months out and I stalled for 2 months...the 3 n 4 ....i started using Myfitnesspal and now im losing again...not very fast...maybe a pound to a pound n a half per week..but ill take it...i think stalls are adjustments in our bodies...be sure to measure at least monthly and appreciate the None scale Victories along the way.when the scale doesnt move

I've been stalling for 3 weeks now and yes it stinks!! I measured myself yesterday and I am the same, so I'm not even losing inches.. But my clothes are looser and I'm wearing smaller clothes, it's weird! I've decided today that I'm gonna go back to liquids for a day or so and see if that breaks this stall.. I just want to get under 200, which I'm getting close but I'm not there yet and I've wonder myself if I'll get there or is this it and ill be stuck at this weight forever.. Good luck everyone!! :)

That half piece of bread won't make you stall. Sometimes our bodies have to play catch up. Try not to stress too much because it will come off. When I don't lose for 1-2 weeks then my weight loss often doubles when it does come off.

I was sleeved 6-17-13 I'm 50lbs down and have 36lbs to goal. No weight loss for 2 weeks. This is my second stall so I'm not as freaked out. The more you move, the less you stall. BUT, when you do stall.....that's all it is!! A STALL! :) It will keep coming off, just remember you get a chance to make the best choice you can for your body again tomorrow. And btw bread isn't always bad. ;)

I'm 6 weeks post-op and hit a stall at 2 weeks that lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks. However, out of no where I started loosing again and lost 5 lbs just this week. I didn't freak out because after reading several posts on here it seems like everyone goes through this every so often so it is completely normal. Just be patient and Celebrate all of the weight you've lost so far. The weight will start coming off again before you know it.

I am 11 months out and I would say I have had 6 times my weight loss would stall on each one I would change my diet eat more calories eat some high fat food for 3-4 days and go back to my healthy low cal food and the weight would fly off you have to get your body out of the routine because your body get resistant to the same thing u do over and over like meds. My start weight was 451 and cw is 246. 205 lbs so far. Try this and you will see a big deference also I noticed during the stalls I was losing inches even though I wasn't losing and would gain a pound or 2.

      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. 🤞
