I have read tons of posts about stalls and thought I was mentally prepared for the infamous "three week stall". Despite all that, when it happened to me, I got a little down. It's so frustrating to be eating so little and not lose any.

***just venting***. :-)

I know what you mean :) I am 5 weeks post op and I have not lost any thing for two weeks now. I started to get down a little but then come here and read that it is pretty common so I am just doing what I am supposed to do and waiting to start losing again. I have lost 60 lbs in 6 weeks Three weeks before surgery and three weeks after so I am sure that is a big part of my stall. It's all good though I am sure we will start losing again soon :)

Its going to be 4 weeks tomorrow that I had my surgery,I have lost 21lbs since(21lbs in 4 weeks) , I guess that's good but I guess i was expecting it to magically fall off.I went for 5 days without a single pound being lost and assume im in the stall phase. I have signed up with La Fitness and use the pool 5 days a week,I walk 2 miles a day in pool and do some cardio workout as well,2 days a week I'm doing advanced Aqua Aerobics .my diet has changed to where I can eat soft solid foods finally,meaning I can eat chicken or fish,which if fine with me,I love both.I hit a stall last week for about 3 days and found out it was due to not having enough calories a day,I was only taking in 592.2 calories a day.I have adjusted with the solid foods to where I'm doing closer to 1200 calories a day now and weight is coming off again(Thank God). all my shorts and pants fall off me now and the ones I can wear looks like I'm wearing a tent or a skirt....lol....anyways all is going as planned , just not as fast as I would like.

I keep wondering about my calories. My friend has been successful on 500-600 calories, so that what I'm doing. Maybe I should eat a little more.

Vent away, that's okay too. This whole thing is VERY frustrating at times. :)

        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
