I am 2 years post op and have hit many stalls along the way. I suggest the 5 day pouch test and push yourself into calorie burning zone in workouts. Cals in...cals out! It is normal and it will change. Things take time, but don't get discouraged...you can do it!!

If you follow the plan you will lose the weight. Remover we are all different and our bodies are different. Couple of suggestions for you:

Make sure you are getting your Protein and Water in.

Stay on target with your exercise

Stop weighing yourself all the time - trust me I know this is hard.

Finally every time I have had a stall I still lost inches.

Keep your spirits high the weight will come off!!

I am eating right, drinking Water, and every day the same or up a bit or down a bit...I dunno what to do.

I have been in a stall for 5 weeks but I am focused on the long-term and thus do not worry about it.

I have had 2 stalls so far. The last one lasting 4 weeks. December 24 I weighed 234 that was week I had to go back to hospital for 5 days. When I got out I had lost to 224 that was in December 29. Didn't lose anymore until January 25 that was to 221 just 3 pounds and now this week to 217. But I probably will stall again now for a week or so. That's how it seems to be working lose up to 10 then stall a few weeks

I hit a stall every 10 lbs or so, lasts anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. Just keep working your plan, the weight will come off. I spent 47 years being obese, now I'll spend a couple years getting to my goal, thats not so bad.

I am 6 1/2 months and have stalled for 6 weeks, I was sick 2 weeks ago and that didn't even help. Haven't been exercising like I should be. With the superbowl tomorrow I plan on getting back on the plan come Monday!

      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. 🤞
