Got sleeved on May 9th and have only lost 2 lbs since! Not panicking though! From what I have read, I am not the only one who is facing this. Hopefully, things will turn around soon!



On the bright side, I am easily able to take 70-80 gms of Protein everyday! Getting better everyday. Couple of incisions hurt still but but not too much. I have not had to take any pain killers after day 4 of surgery.



Anyone that had an early stall, please feel free to holler! Thanks.

I stalled after 4 weeks for almost three weeks. No worries. You'll get going again!

I'm stalled now after two weeks, and no loss since then--maddening! I'm so glad it's common though, and so keeps me from feeling panicked. I still hate it though and it's kind of depressing. We WILL lose though! ...eventually...

Hey friends...thanks for these posts, I'm 3 weeks out (sleeved 5/5) and lost 10 lbs the first week and now 2 weeks later my scale looks the same!!! Ugh!! Sooo frustrating! It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone, thank you!!

I'm right there with you all. 3 weeks out and only down 9 lbs. I eat nothing but Protein, no carbs, and walk 30 minutes a day. I average about 500 calories per day at the most. What gives? Starting to resent all the posts where people lose 20+ in the first week. LOL!

Amen to that! I want to be on THAT losing plan! I've lost about twenty since surgery (once I dumped that hospital fluids) and nothing for almost a week now. I'm eating exactly to plan with mushy stuff, Protein first, a small amt of carbs, teeny Amy of fat and all between 600 and 700 calories. I walk 7000 steps a day (about three miles) and aim for 5 flights of stairs a day. My dog is ecstatic, but I'm wiped out.

Sure would love to break this stall. Here's to hoping for all of us!

I am experiencing the same thing. I was sleeved on 4/21. The first 3 weeks I lost 15 lbs. Over the last week I have not lost any. I have been reading blogs and see that a lot of people experience it. With only taking in 700-800 calories a day, why a stall? It can be nerve wracking and makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong. But I feel you just have to give it time.

I am 2.5 weeks out and haven't lost anything in a week! Even though I know it will happen it is very frustrating to have it happen so soon after surgery. Sort of thought I'd have a month of weight melting off while I was taking in so little.

Thank goodness for these remarks by everyone. I had my surgery on 5/12/14 and came home 10 lbs heavier than when I went into surgery. I have since lost all of that plus some. I'm down 21 lbs. from when I started this whole thing. Yay!! I would do this again. Looking forward to losing more pounds. I just need to stop weighing every single day. I'm addicted to my scale.

Stalls are normal. I stalled 3 times in the first 4 mos. now I tend to not lose for 2 weeks, then drop (In the beginning 10-15lbs.) 5-7lbs. quickly and the cycle repeats.

HW: 335

Entered program: 312

SW 9/11/13: 297

Today 5/24/14: 194

      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.
