I have been stalled / fluctuation the same 3 lbs for the past MONTH ! I am not even 3 months post op.

I had surgery on Oct 14th. I stopped losing right after thanksgiving and have been fluctuating since. It's now a new year and I want to get back to losing.

How common is a month long stall? I was reading that stalls happen at 3 months. I was early with my 3 week stall and got it at 2 weeks. Maybe I got a month long stall at 2 months instead of 3?

I thought about doing the 5 day sleeve test to get my system back on track.

As far as inches, I did lose, but as of lately (past several weeks) I haven't lose any inches.

I'm just super frustrated and need to know how common this is or if I need to call my DR ?

Here's my month chart .. Frustrating !!

Hi there. Happy New Year.

I had a stall at three months and after the stall, that's when my weight loss started to slow down. The three and four month mark were struggles for me mentally because of the slow down - exercise helped me mentally.

Everyone's loss is different. Your body is unique - your weight loss will be unique as well.

Glad your measuring - that always helped me when the scale stopped moving. Take lots of pictures, too. I love looking back and seeing the transformation.

Best of luck to you!

      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. 🤞
