Stalls are depressing!



Recommended Posts

I'm around 11 weeks post op and on a second stall. My first one lasted 3 weeks, this one has been 2 weeks so far. It's been really messing with my head, and it's hard to stay positive. I work out and try to stick to my plan, but I think my carbs have been high. I'm going to try to lower them and see if I start losing again, it just sucks because carbs give me more energy and make me less crabby. I don't know what else I can do. I get my fluids in as well. It's just frustrating. I needed to vent, thanks for letting me.

You go right ahead and vent! I know we all read don't worry about the stalls. However, I am sure it is very frustrating when you are doing all you can and the pounds are not falling. That is what got me here in the first place. Hopefully, not being able to binge with the frustration will teach me patience. Take some quiet time out for yourself to think about all you've been through and all you've read on here. Don't give up! Oops, that's right, you can't give up. This thing is permanent! :P Sending hugs and good vibes your way

Yes, they suck. I think I am going through my second one right now a little over 2 months out. SO CLOSE to ONEderland, too! I actually try to up my caloric intake a couple days to break them, and that seems to work. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do but keep on doing what you're doing and wait it out! I have also learned to only weigh once a week. I'll just drive myself crazy otherwise :)

I just realized this morning I've been stalled for 4 weeks. I hit 100 pounds and haven't moved since. Super annoying, but at least I'm not gaining I suppose.

Try picking up physical weights of how much you lost I think it might change your mind. Even if it's only 10 pounds pick up a 10 pound weight and imagine you walking everywhere with that. It totally changed my mind.

Yeah they really suck! I've had a couple. Just know that they are normal and inevitable and will pass!

        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.

      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
