I think this is fairly common. I'm approaching week 3 and haven't lost anything since the beginning of week two. I read that it's common to not lose anything around this time but the weight loss picks up again at around week 4. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)

I'm 2 months out today. I stall ALL the time. I'm down 32lbs. It's fantastic but from what I use to eat, to now... It's a drastic difference. I thought the weight would fall off. The scale will stay the same for a couple weeks, then...boom 5 lbs will b gone. I've been told to meet your Protein & it'll help.

For the last two days my stomach hurts every time I take a drink of something....I'm fine eating...tho it's only pureed stuff...it's the liquid that seems to make it hurt...I take a drink, it hurts for a minute and then stops...

It is very common! Your body is in shock. Since you are eating so much less, your body thinks it is starving and therefore holds onto everything. It will level out and the weight will come off. Just keep getting your Protein and Water in, and exercise. It will happen!

No it happens even when I take small drinks...the weird thing is, Water is the worst...

very odd...call your doc tomorrow, maybe they have seen it before and can give you a straight answer....:(

      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.
