Been Stalled For 2 Weeks



Recommended Posts

Surgery was 7/23. I lost 30 lbs pretty quick now that I am past the puree stage it feels like I am stalled. I am getting 80 grams of Protein a day, all my Vitamins and nothing. I will gain a lb then lose it. What is going on???

I keep reading on here that it's normal but why does this happen? I track everything I eat on my fitness pal and I barley ts keep in 600 calories but I do take in my Protein, next to no sugar and very low fat send carbs.

Weird I don't feel like I'm starving at all. Besides I was 335 preop, my body has plenty of stored up fat it can use. :) I wish I could work out more but doc said I still need to wait for another week or so.

Guys be happy for what you have lost until now and stay away from that dreaded scale it will make you loopy! If you are doing everything right it will come off, just imagine how happy you will be when you weigh yourselves in two weeks you have a big loss! Keep working your tool and everything will fall in place!

I have been at this for 6 months. I have had so many stalls I cant even count them. But I have an app on my phone that keeps track of my weight and it says I have lost 4.2 lbs a week since I started. So not too shabby. Dont give up. You arent doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting to alot of crap right now including the reduction in calories. In our mind we think okay I am eating a hell of alot less then I used to be and I should be losing like a fiend. Unfortunatly these overweight bodies of ours like to hold onto the fat for as long as it cans, I dont know why. But I guess what I am trying to say is in the grand scheme of things, if you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing that weight is gonna come off. Patience my friends... not an easy virtue but in this game of ours we are in, we have to have it. By the way 107 lbs gone in six months and I stall out at least twice a month.

      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.
