Stall in loss?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 11/3/15. I have lost 40lbs, but the last 2 weeks the scale has not moved for me. Anyone else experience a stall only 2 months out?

I experienced one two *weeks* out! They do happen once in awhile to pretty much everyone. I think your body has to stop and recalibrate every once in awhile. Just stick to the plan and you should start dropping again.

It is common to encounter stalls after gastric bypass surgery.

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't realize there were little stalls occasionally but iot makes sense. My first thought is to really become a walker and a healthy eater (even though I've never eaten very heqalthily for long) Mine is Feb 10th, I can't believe it's happening, I'm so tired of being a big heavy guy who is exhausted by the least amount of physical exertion

I think most of us don't realize how normal stalls are because pre-op, a stall was when we usually gave up and quit whatever diet we were on at the time -- hence the yo-yo dieting.

Now, I know that if I just keep doing what I am supposed to do, I will lose weight.

I am 13 months out and have been in a stall for two months. I was wondering if anyone has a few tips to move this along. Two months seems like a long stall.

I have lost 80 lbs since surgery and 12 before the surgery. I feel great but am ready to take off the next 40 lbs.

Congratulations on your 80 pound loss.

Without knowing what you are doing it is hard to give you tips.

If you aren't happy with where you are why not make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals?

Embrace the Stall!

my surgeon said going back to the pre-op diet (Protein shakes plus clear liquids) for a couple of days will sometimes get things going again. Haven't tried it since my only stall thus far has been the "three week stall". Since I'm over seven months out, he probably figured I was long overdue for one...

      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. 🤞
