I'm 4 weeks post op. I did not lose any weight week 3. Now week 4 it's going down again. Have faith!

I am going through the same thing. I am 3 weeks post-op and I have not lost any weight in over a week. It's getting very frustrating. I have sought answers in this forum and they are calling it the 3-4 week stall. I am still in the middle of it, so I have not passed through it yet. But others are telling me that it is temporary and that the weight loss will continue after this hurdle. Hold on and we'll get there!

I am 2 wks out and gained 1/2 pound this morning. I know I am due to start my period in 4 days, so pretty sure that's where the extra weight is coming from. I have only lost 12 lbs is this normal?

I think our periods will in fact effect our weight. I usually gain 2 or 3 pounds during my period anyway. I also was on my period this week. So the fact that I haven't lost any for a week I think is part of it too. I called my WL nutritionist and they really urged me to drink the two Protein Shakes a day. I gotta get better about that.

I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 11 lbs total. I would say it's pretty normal at this point.

I am two weeks out and my weight-loss stopped also. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks and now it has been four days and the scale has not moved except this morning I gained 1 pound. I know it's not from eating, Because I have not gone over 400 cal per day. I'm glad to hear that others are having the same experience and I'm anxious to get through this stall.

My Weight Loss Nutritionist said that drinking the 2 Protein Drinks a day should also help us get past this hurdle AND to not forget about the Water too.

      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. 🤞
