Congratulations on your surgery. it is not uncommon for people to hit stalls around week three (and several times throughout your losing stages). Your body is adjusting and still healing. Stick to the plan your doctor laid out for you and the numbers should start to move again. When is your next followup?

Good read about stalls.

I don't have a follow up because I got my surgery in Mexico. I think I'm eating to much calories, but I don't know. One thing I know is that I'm doing something wrong

One month out I was around 600-800 calories, at week 6 my nut pushed me up to 1000. Too few could also be problematic. Are you on pureed foods are soft at this point? If you focus on lean Protein, first, then vegetables, then starch ( which I rarely ever get in) you should be good. Try for a minimum of 68 oz of Water a day also. I think at a month out I managed an ounce or two before getting full.

I try and track everything on MyFitnessPal and that keeps me accountable for my calories throughout the day.

If that doesn't' help or you want more info I can send you the instructions my nut gave me for the food stages.

I hit a stall at exactly this point after surgery. Hopefully it's just that. And when you say you're "probably" eating too many calories, does that mean that you're not keeping track? I would suggest using a nutritional tracking tool like fitness pal to count your calories. That should give you a better idea of whether it's just your regular stall, or if you are actually taking in too many calories. Good luck!

As Jersey mentioned, stalls are very common and should be expected. I would giess that you are doing well and your body is just stalling out for a bit. The link Jersey provided has been incredibly helpful to me.

What were your doctor's recommendations for what to eat/drink after surgery? Have you been logging your intake? We are happy to help, however, it is very common for different surgeons to have very different guidelines.

      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. 🤞
