different for everyone... including the 3rd, 4th, 5th and ...... stalls...... there are so many stalls on this crazy journey. Measure yourself and watch the inches drop so you arent obsessing with the numbers on the scale. Something I wish I had done but sadly didnt...

I'm starting to think I'm on that trend too!!! I loose 10-15lbs then stall for a week or two then loose another 10-15 lbs then stall!! But I'm still happy I'm loosing my weight and have been reassured its normal !

I'm like kisersassy...I'm 6 months out and I too stall two weeks each month. This is when I lose inches. I drop numbers for two weeks and then inches for two weeks. I'm down 90#. I keep a journal. It's easier to identify the patterns and shut that inner pessimest up!! Keep going!!

I too usually stall out a couple weeks out of a month. I'm almost 5 months post op. I've noticed though I will drop inches and usually a size in clothing during that time. The stalls don't bother me anymore. That's when I know I need to buy a new pair of jeans :)

Highest Weight: 331 Surgery Date: 11/26/12 319lbs Current Weight: 232 04/13/13 Goal Weight: 157

That's so awesome!!

I think I will try to keep my inches somewhere. I have only had one stall a months or so after surgery but I'm pretty sure I am on my way to the second one. I am about 5 months post op. I know it's normal but always scary!!

Oh for sure!! For me, my inner pessimist will say, "Oh, you're four months...five months...six months post op, you're done losing..." Tell her to shut up!! I wish I'd kept up with inches, but very much like everyone else, I know the inches will be falling off in those "stall" times...

My first 2 weeks I lost a total of 14... Week 3 I've lost nothing :( very frustrated and discouraged! Isn't week 3 a little early to already be stalling?

Thats exactly when I stalled. I lost 22lbs in the first three weeks and then stalled for a whole week as a matter of fact, I went up 2 lbs. I am 5 weeks now and the scale finally has gone back down those 2 lbs again. My NUT said to really focus on Protein and sometimes this helps break through it but be reassured that you are still losing inches.

      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.
