Plateau already?!



Recommended Posts

Are you serious? I'm three week post-op and I gained 0.1 pounds and I know that's nothing but I got on the scale this morning and gained another pound. I shouldn't be getting weighed everyday but I'm terrified I'm stuck already. Help. What am I doing wrong? ???? is it the fact that I moved from liquid to purée and I haven't had food in so long until now? Ugh. Helpppppp I've lost 14 so far but I'm so scared. Everyone says it should still be falling off.

You'll get many inputs from people about stalls. They happen all the time. Don't worry, you'll be losing again in no time. But you should expect the stalls to happen and sometimes they last a few weeks. Just stay the course and all will be fine.

Everyone fluctuates from day to day because of Water or hell maybe you need to poop but can't yet. Do not check your weight every day, it will just lead to disappointment. Just eat what you're supposed to and do your best to stay active and the scale will go down. I know it'll kill you with anticipation but you need to only check once a week.

Stress doesn't help either, it will happen just follow your plan and take measurements don't relay just on the scale. Your body is still healing and adjusting, for some it seems to just fall of others may be a bit slower but at the end of the first year most all seem to be around the same percentage lost. :)

Three week stall? Search the forum it's all around here. Body is in shock and trying regroup. Did not loose a pound on 3rd week postop. Staying off the scale helps if you can. Easier said than done. I'm exactly where you are. I'm 14 down. You will break through! :-)

      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. 🤞
