@ - you didn't share a lot of info - pre or post-op? Search "stall" and read about the 3 week stall on BP.

They happen, its part of the ride! Like a roller coaster, after the big drop or so, there are the "bunny slopes".

Perfectly normal. You will have stops and stalls.

Join the club of ....all of us. Stalls are normal. also think about the fact that while you may not be "losing" you can be chaning your body. Sometimes even when your not losing you body is redistributing muscle etc from working out, and youre getting fit, your just gaining muscle at the same rate you are losing fat. Ive noticed losing inches on the body, even when overall weight stayed the same. You will hit curves valleys and hills all along the way, dont give up just keep going.

i was stuck at 10 pounds to go for 2.5 weeks. then in one week i lost 3 pounds, then bounced back up a pound, then it has taken me another 2 weeks to get back to that seven pounds to go. its not fun, but then again this isnt about fun. its about us and our health. You Can Do This!, dont stop!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. No one loses at a constant or predictable rate. If you are intending to lose a large amount of weight you will stall periodically. Most folks experience their first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended, and exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

      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. 🤞
