I am right there with you in the stall!! I am 8 mos post op and stuck at 292!! I also have just started working out and making myself stay on a schedule for it. I started at 417 and am down to 292 so I guess I am not doing so bad. I just wanted you to know you are not alone in the stall and hopefully we can get past it soon. It does make you think you are doing something you should not be or could be doing better but just take the best care of yourself you can and it will be fine!! Also check out this app called fooducate I just discovered it and it is awesome! You can scan the barcode of a food and it will tell you all about it and can add it to a food log if you choose it to!! Good luck!

Thanks I just downloaded the app so I will see how this goes!!!

My soc said during the times of stalls on the scale is when we lose the most inches. I found him to be completely right on that.

When I hit long periods of stalls I always increased my Protein intake and it usually will snap the stall. Try not to get to hung up on the scale numbers. Muscle does weigh more than fat and this is a marathon not a sprint for weight loss!

Yeah I try not to just look at the numbers. So I know I really need to hurry and get tape measurer. Thank you for the encouragement and yes I know I have to keep in mind that this is a marathon!!

      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. 🤞
