Billie 70. yes it is called the 3 week stall :} it is very common so we named it such. Just keep following your eating protocol. Your weight will move. Your body is adjusting to the surgery and low calorie intake ..Once your dr. releases you to exercise..my suggestion is to start..it will def help you with weight loss. Just keep on doing what u are doing. and btw the post above ..just ignore it. We don't need

sarcasm on this web site. especially when we are helping

newbies. Let us know if you have further questions.

Oh come on......a little humor takes the edge off. Everything doesn't have to be so dry and serious. Nobody's being malicious.

OK, you want the serious version. Here goes. How about he word "stalled"'. Who uses that word. Weight loss surgery patients, that's who. So my guess is if your using the word stalled, you've already read about stalls and are aware they are typical to WLS. If you want more details, then reading more would certainly be an option. Hence the "Search" suggestion.

Chill out. Losing lots of weight on this journey should be and enjoyable ride.

Stalls are common and so is the nervousness over them :) Totally normal and understandable. After all, we have been through so much and don't want to fail. Just keep following your plan and it will break :)

Forget the block button. I certainly won't waste any more of my time offering any more "advice" (not advise) to you. I re-read that response to your first post and all I can say is you have an unusual way in interpreting plain English.

BTW, it's him, not her. And you can go to - "manage ignore prefs" - and block me easily.

Good luck with your surgery.

Ha, ha!! Good because people don't need your advice if it's gonna be condescending! And we certainly don't need English professors on this site...

I wonder if you were this mean when you were FAT!!! Probably not because you can't be fat, mean and ugly to folks at the same time. But hey you act more like female than male so who knows..... I hope you are well!! I don't need to block you, you now know how I feel about you LADY, I mean SIR!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
