The dreaded stall -_-



Recommended Posts

Feel like I'm losing my damn mind! Rny may 21 lost 20 pounds and then bam hit a stall. I haven't lost in 2 weeks! I actually go up and down the same 2 pounds. It's starting to mess with my head. I told all my friends I had this surgery, I did the same when I was banded and it helped keep me motivated to lose.. I need that push. It's embarrassing though when they ask how much did you lose this week lol I'm like arrrrghhh haha it's crazy how my mind thinks well this is it, you aren't going to lose anymore.. I am eating under 600 calories, 65 grams of Protein, 64 + ounces of Water, no sugar, low carb and low fat and I'm walking every day so I know I'm doing all the right things now my body just has to catch up. How are all of you doing??

I am 7 weeks out and I haven't had any stalls. My surgeon started me on solids on day 10, so I did not have the initial big weight drop I see with people whos are on liquid diet 2 weeks pre-op (I had no pre-op diet), and 2-3-4 weeks after the surgery. So my weight loss was not drastic and it is still on the slower side but I am happy as I am losing constantly.

I think lots of people stall when they transition from liquid to pureed and then from pureed to solids. Not much you can do, follow your plan, and it will come off.

We have to take the long view. Stalls end sometime, right? I had my surgery May 5th and the first month I lost 21 pounds. I haven't lost anything since then. I am following my plan very closely, drinking Water, walking. I don't weigh myself every day any more!

Save exact as me. The first two weeks I lost 24 lbs. I'm going into my second week and I'm stuck. Wobbling back and forth between two pounds. So frustrating

      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
