Go ahead and compare to me.... You won't be disappointed.

5 days up 11 pounds from surgery day.

11 days Weighed the same as surgery day.

6 weeks postp lost 17 pounds

7 weeks gained 3 pounds

10 weeks back to 17 pounds lost

12 weeks lost 25 pounds postop.

As you can see, stalls and even gains are normal. Also notice that I only weighed myself 6 times in the first 3 months. scale numbers DO NOT MATTER. Just stay on plan, STAY OFF THE scale, embrace the NSVs and have fun!!!!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! You just made my day :)

I'm 12 weeks post op sleeve and it's done me good to read all your posts. I was in the post op euphoric phase having lost steadily and slowly with no problems or stalls until a couple of weeks ago. I was 203lbs SW and am down to 173lbs and for the first time I have hit a stall. I'm hitting my Protein and Water targets, walking around 3-5 miles a day, but I've ground to a halt as far as getting the poundage off my frame. I use My Fitness Pal so am tracking what is going in and know that I am doing everything exactly right. I make every meal from fresh ingredients (bumped into my GP in the supermarket yesterday and she commented on my extremely healthy trolley load!). However, I'm well and truly stuck scale wise. On the other hand, a pair of jeans that were just a wee bit too snug a couple of weeks ago are now almost comfy so I know that things are changing in my body that I have no control over. I feel wonderful and healthier than I have for years but I really want to see the scales moving in the downward direction again but I've decided that I'm going to stay off them for a couple of weeks. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't gain all my excess weight overnight so it ain't going to budge overnight either. Hard to accept sometimes though. I just want to be the sylph that I was when I was a 19 year old professional ballet dancer but that was 40 years ago!!!!! I had to weigh around 100lbs then so realise that if I weighed that again I would look ridiculous and it would be a completely unrealistic goal doomed to failure. So....its just a case of sticking to the plan, touching base with fellow sleevers through these forums and posts, embracing the stall and thanking my lucky stars that I had the sense to have the surgery originally. That's not to say that it isn't hard to accept a stall. Someone was having a laugh when they designed the human body!!!!!!!! Why can't it do as it's told?!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
