Hello everyone I had the sleeve Dec. 21 and everything was going good so far I had lost 17lb and all of the sudden 5 days ago I am in a stall haven't lost a pound since then.... many people say it's normal and even more if I have my period, which I have now for 12 days :((

Use the search function and type in stall. Your concerns have already been addressed a few hundred times. Better yet, just go straight to the "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" subforum. That's where your post should go.

It's easy to be sad and frustrated...we all want our excess weight off and we want it to happen fast. Our bodies take the time it needs to do just that. Yes, it is very common to stall...just keep getting in your Protein, Water and Vitamins...if you follow the plan, it will come off. You will hit stalls, throughout the entire process. Chin up, all is good :)

This is completely normal. 99% of sleeve patients go through this exact same thing. Don't stress about it. Stick to your program, get your Protein in, get your Water in, take your Vitamins, and move around as much as possible and you WILL lose weight. I promise!

Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last!

I needed the good laugh this caused..haha.

I am experiencing my first "stall" of a week, period related I'm hoping. I'm trying to be calm and not think about it.

@@janira - Am I understanding your post correctly that your period has lasted for 12 days? Is that normal for you? Have you talked to your ob/gyn?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will go to the doctor on Monday and talk about my period. It has never been that long and maybe this has something to do with the stall??? I will see on Monday after I talk to the doc and see what he says...

And yes, I guess stalls are normal and I just have to get over it :/

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
