same thing for me. i have been told it because i dont consume enough calories.

but i think it is because the body is in shock. it will continue burning the fars for sure. i only took down 1.5 pound in the last 2 weeks.

It happened to me too, then I began to lose again. I think stalls happen through the whole process. I am 2 1/2 months out and lose a steady 2-4 lbs a week then all of a sudden 2 lbs overnight. I eat about 700 calories a day

For me, I can go days without wanting to eat at all. I drink however. I do calorie count a preop habit I can't break. BUT I can see through it that when I eat I lose. To be blunt when I eat I also "poo" Lmao its true. My weight loss clearly picks up when that happens. Soooo, my personal gage is calories and frequency in the bathroom. It's a signal to me that .not eating enough again. I am at 5 lbs a week. I walk, take the stairs at work and drink Water all day. But if I don't get over 500 cals my metabolism full stops for up to 5 days. :P hope it sheds some light.

I've been very frustrated too. First week after surgery, down 10 pounds. Next 10 days, nothing.....except the day I was UP one pound!! I know our bodies go through changes and we should expect times like this, but it still SUCKS!

I dose suck. But it will move. Take pictures too because that helps us see changes the scale doesn't show us. Keep your head up.

      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. 🤞
