My weightloss has stopped already



Recommended Posts

I'll be 3 weeks out on Monday. Surgery was done on march 25th. I lost 10 lbs on pre op diet and 15 lbs since surgery, but that's it not a pound more. I'm trying my best to get As much Protein and fluids. Just surprised its stopped already.

Anyone else around my surgery date going through this to?

No sweety.... It's too soon to say you stop losing weight. I'm sure your losing weight if you measure your self when you started this journey & now you will see a difference. Continue drinking Water & following doctors order. Stay positive & stay focus I realized now that I'm 10 months post up that the scale is only a number & if you let it get to you-you will go nuts.

Your body is in shock. A lot of people stall between 2-4 weeks out. I did at 2 weeks out and it lasted for 2 weeks. Don't stress about it....just keep doing what you're suppose to do and it will start again.

I stalled for 3 weeks when I was 3 weeks out. It freaked me out. I've noticed that whenever the scale stops moving, I seem to lose inches. I call it my body rearranging itself. I'm 8 months out and list 2 pounds in all of March. So far I've lost 8 pounds in April. Your body just needs a break to adjust. Having little stalls gives you more time for your skin to snap back. It's a good thing and perfectly normal. Totally frustrating though.

I lost 27 straight out of surgery then nothing for three weeks then started again I figured I was still swollen and healing. I don't stress out about the stalls it happens to everyone your body has to adjust this was MAJOR new plumbing .

      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. 🤞
