Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing a significant amount of weight. Everyone stalls and almost everyone stalls about three weeks after surgery. You are right on schedule.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Stay off the scale.

And, embrace the stall!

I was sleeved on March 21st as well. I too have stalled and it's very frustrating. But it is part of the process so there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope.

In a way I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one. How much are you eating at once? (I'm eating 2oz 3 times a day)

I'm about 4 to 6 times a day. Definitely not more than that and definitely not more than 2 ounces. My huge problem is that I've always been a fast eater. I still am and boy when that pain hits in the middle of my chest I'm reminded to stop eating so fast.

I am only 13 days out and have stalled the last 3 days. I lost 11 pounds the first 10 days, and then nothing since. I am so frustrated! I was expecting this at 3 weeks out, but not this early!

I'm with you...March 23rd surgery so I just hit 4 weeks yesterday...and I'm stuck at 14 lbs. My body has never wanted to let go of weight and I guess that's just continuing. I'm eating about 600-800 calories a day and sticking to what I'm supposed to be doing. Need to get moving more I guess but I'm just exhausted. We will get there!!!

If it makes you feel any better - I stalled like Inner Surfer Girl said around day 15 and for a good amount of time. But then magically a few weeks later when i weighed I had lost a good amount of weight and have continued to (we shall see at the next weigh in) but everyone is different and have different starting weights so weight comes off faster and slower - So as everyone said - probably best to avoid the scale if it will impact your motivation and/or mood. i know it impacted mine :)

      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.
