Stall at 2nd week?



Recommended Posts

Okay so my first i got the surgery I lost 16 pounds I'm from 276 so 260. this week I have so far only lost a pound and I'm working out I'm getting all my Protein I'm drinking my fluids I don't understand what's wrong and my negativity isn't helping because now all I can think is it's another diet it's not to work I put my body threw hell for nothing. I have heard of people stalling after the first month for about a week but never heard of people stalling at the second week I just have a feeling this journey is going to be even longer and harder for me then normal people :(

It's perfectly normal. Don't stress. You can search and come up with hundreds of threads on this topic.

Do yourself a favor and don't get on the scale for a couple more weeks. You will thank yourself later.

Your body has just gone through major surgery. Give it time to heal.

Just remember as long as you follow your plan, the weight has no choice but to come off. It didn't go on over night and it won't come off over night. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Hang in there! Be proud of what you have accomplished thus far!

Thank you for the encouragement it's so hard not to revert to that state of mind where you feel depressed and discouraged. I guess I was comparing myself to others I know, my friend lost 30lbs her first month, I guess I was just hoping. Glad I'm not alone though I did find the "slow losers thread"

You're not alone. We are all going though this journey together and can support one another.

And please don't compare your loss to others. You will find you come out on the short end and feel bad most times. Every person is different and you will be better served looking at only your accomplishments and not saying oh look, so and so lost this much and I only lost this much. Take the wind out of our sails and leaves us deflated at a time when we need wind.

Celebrate that you are on your way! Chin up and and all that kind of stuff! ;)

As long as you are doing everything right, the scale will start moving.

I have an extreme fear of dumping so I am following everything to a T. I've decided to put my scale away, if I am doing everything I am supposed to then the numbers on the scale are useless, the weight will come off but I need to stay positive, so no scale for me @ least until I can control the urge to step on it every five seconds lol

I forgot to tell you a positive thing about a stall. Every time the scale stopped moving the inches seemed to melt away. This happens to lots of us. It's weird and doesn't make sense but a NSV for sure!

      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.
