I'm a scale-a-holic...I weigh every day. Last week I went up 2 lbs...I know it varies but it hasnt come back off.

My surgery was 3 weeks ago. I think I'm already stalled. For some reason, I thought maybe I would be one of the lucky ones that this didn't happen to...guess not!

I do get at least 60g of Protein, 64oz Fluid and walk at least 40 mins a day (2 miles). I am still on pureed, avg 400-500 cal per day. I'm exhausted.

I am going to try to not weigh again until my one month check up on 5/10.

This is so frustrating. I was in a 2 week stall prior to surgery...and niw again? I cried a lot yestetday. Ugh.

Calm down. I feel like the pot calling the kettle black, I am in the same boat .. 2.5 weeks out I stalled for over a week today is 4 weeks for me and I lost 5 pounds. Keep doing what your doing.. It's what I have to tell myself.. It will happen. I also was scale obsessed. I now only weigh on Wednesday, I call it Weighday :)

Don't get discouraged, I stalled 5 months post op for 3 months. I too am a scale-a-holic, just stick to your plan with diet and exercise and it WILL come off. We all lose in different ways and time... hang in there it will move !

I was a scale freak when I first had my surgery. Now, it comes out 5 times a month. On my anniversary date and on Fridays. I realized the more I obsessed over it the more stressed I got. The weight will come off and stalls are going to happen. I stall every month for 1-2 weeks sometimes 3 weeks at a time. Just remember just cause the scale isn't moving that the inches are not coming off. My best advice is to weigh AND measure yourself once a week.

      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. 🤞
