Update!!! I did some searching and found that this topic has caused all sorts of snarkiness and negative responses. Please forgive me for bringing up the subject. On a positive note, maybe the eye-rolling will burn a few calories. :rolleyes:

I started on soft foods on Tuesday, started Water aerobics on Wednesday. That's the good part. The bad is that I haven't lost an ounce since Monday. Did I go through all this only to stop losing this soon???

No, you are fine. You hit the famous 2-3 week out from surgery stall. Your body is just adjusting. Just hang in there and keep up the good work.

On a side note, be careful with exercise. It is so easy to reinjure yourself at this stage. I learned the hard way. :-)

Thank you!!! I didn't know about the surgery stall. It felt great to get back in the pool. I didn't do all of the exercises and felt really good. I'll go 2 days next week and then back to a regular schedule of 3 days the following week.

Don't get discouraged.. I had a 2.5 month stall 5 months post op... I freaked... I followed everything exactly, no cheating, plenty of exercise so I increased the distance and intensity and it got me over my hump. You will do fine don't worry it will pass.

I'm 4 weeks post op monday and I experienced a gain and stall weeks 2-3.... this week, I dropped 5lbs. Stick with it and trust in the process. take progress pictures every week...it helps you see how far you have come, especially on the weeks the scale doesn't move!

      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.
