Hi everyone, I am one month post op and in the dreaded stall. My stall has been going on for 2 weeks. i have seen lots of threads on the stall, but not Much on how to end it. Will it stop on its own, and if so, when? Or what did people do to end the stall? I would appreciate any Advice?

Just follow your program carefully and wait. Put the scale away if it is stressing you out (stress is bad for weight loss!). Patience and time are the only known cures ^_^

Ditto. Stalls are normal and nothing you can do. Keep on plan and stay off the scale. My biggest stall breakers early on we're actually to eat more and drink more. Other than that, they just ended on their own. I probably even missed a few because i didn't weigh that often.

I'm a month out also and at a stall for a week now. I've upped my Water intake it's not helping. I've only lost 15 pounds since surgery, 30 all together with the 6 month nut visits.

Still on pureed foods which are yuck, like eating baby food. Which I've not done.

Still I'd like to see some extra come off but will keep on trucking if it doesn't. I'm sure in time it will start up again.

I ended my stall by eating more... and that included eating a cup of frozen custard every night.

I think it sends your body out of the mind set that it is starving

I'm in 3 week out. Also had a stall from beginning of 2nd week till end of 3rd week.

Today is my 4th week beginning and i see the scale moving down.

I did nothing, but simply follow my program.

I'm in my 4 th week and at a stall for over a week. Hmm eating more? might have to try that. I've been at this stall to long and only have lost 15 pounds since surgery.

My stall lasted for 2 weeks as well. The scale bounced back and forth between 239 and 241. I finally stopped looking after a week. It's frustrating, for sure! I stayed on my plan part of which is logging everything. I raised my Protein and caloric intake and cut carbs down by about 15g when I did that the scale moved. I'm not positive that that's what broke the stall but it was the only thing I changed before beginning to lose again.

        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
