I also had my surgery Feb 12. I was reminded about the week 3 stall earlier this week. I would just continue getting in your Protein and 64 oz of Water daily. We all lose at different rates. Starting weight plays into it as well.

You are "supposed" to lose a certain amount every week. None of us lose weight at a constant are steady rate. We all have periods of rapid weight loss and periods of no weight loss (stalls).

Almost everyone experiences their first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program and focus on getting in all of your Protein and Water.

Embrace the Stall!

Hang in there, Kiddo. I lost 22 pounds pre-op and then gained 12 pounds back from IV fluids in the hospital. By the time I lost those 12 pounds, I was into week three.

It was not until week four that I really started to drop any measurable weight. Once I hit six months, the weight started coming off in Milligrams instead of pounds.

It is what it is. Some of us are just slow losers and every excess pound is going to go out kicking and screaming!

      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. 🤞
