Just hit my 3 week stall - like the scale did not budge the whole week. Because of this site, I'm not even trippin' If I haven't said it before, thanks!!! :) Luckily, I'm only weighing in on Thursdays. This too shall pass as they say....

I hit mine right on schedule too. Even knowing what to expect and knowing they are NBD, I was still completely anxious about it at first. Reading the board called called "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" (I think it's under General WLS) has been hugely helpful in keeping me sane.

I have been weighing myself every day. Just yesterday I finally forced myself to put the scale away, and I am enjoying today not knowing what the scale says. I'm going for a weekly Monday check-in myself.

I'm in mine right now. I've lost and gained the same three pounds all week. Blegh!

It's hard sometimes but I'm focusing on my clothes fitting nicer. The slight thinning if my face. If I weighed everyday, I'd be fit to be tied! That's an Southern expression for going crazy! :-)

I just hot the three week stall. I'm down 29 lbs and couldn't wait to say I am down 30! Well, that may not happen right away. But I am so relieved to know that a "3 week stall" is actually a thing that others go through too. If I didn't know about this ahead of time I'm sure I would be really hard on myself...and I don't want that kind of negativity when I'm working so hard at this!

After not moving (or going in the wrong direction!) for 8 days, I put the scale away on 2/4 and said I was only going to weigh myself once a week. I picked Monday as my weigh-day, and this morning I was down 4.5 pounds since 2/4. Apparently, it's true what they say about "a watched stall never breaks". Or maybe I just made that up, but you get the idea. :)

Yay! anaxila! I had been weighing on Thursdays. I jumped on just to see if it had moved past the stall. Down 2.5lbs. So I'll go back to my once a week till maintenance. Then I'll be everyday. Maybe. Can't decide. I've got a long while to decide. Lol

I know we're all different but to give you all some hope I'll share my "stall" experience. I didn't lose a pound for almost the whole month of January but once the stall ended, I dropped 8 pounds in a week. Weighing myself daily is not going to work for me anymore. It drives me absolutely nuts. I'll just have to hold out until my Sunday weigh-ins.

Have only lost 2 pounds in the last two weeks, which were week 3 and 4. Still not moving and I think I have become a victim of the scale! I am obsessed with it. I have lost 40 lbs total with before surgery loss, but oddly it isn't enough!

Thank goodness someone directed me to this site at our local support meeting last Thursday. Last week I saw my surgeon for my first post op checkup. I was down 30lbs sine December 30th. Since that appt I have not lost a pound. I'm at 3 weeks. I hadn't heard or been told about the 3 week stall! Thank Heaven for all of you. I'm not happy I've stalled but much more at peace knowing others have gone through this 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. 🤞
