I hit my first stall. ????????????????

Im 23 days post op.

First week lost 15 pds , second week lost 16 pds and this week nothing... any advice??

I know i haven't been meeting Protein goals or fluid goals. And not very active because im so fatigue. Maybe that's the reason....

I hope to lose 120 more lbs by January...

Congratulations, you are right on schedule.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs. Almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing a significant amount of weight.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your fluids and Protein, and stay off the scale.

Embrace the Stall

@@nene91 31lbs in 2 weeks is incredible! Your body needs to take some time to adjust. Get in your Protein and Water and it'll continue to come off.

Its hard. Im trying! Thank you!

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

My nutritionist said that without getting the proper Protein you will not lose weight, and also Protein will lead you to dehydration. That's why getting your suggested amounts in is totally key to a success. Stalls are totally normal!! My mom had her surgery in October she didn't lose weight for a month, but she went down a size, so you may not be loosing weight, but your body is changing. I had my sleeve in March, and I had a rough first 5 weeks, but I am doing so much better now. As of last week I am down 67 pounds!!

Keep up the good work!!

I am only 10 days out and have been the same weight the last two days despite still being on full liquids and only getting in about 400 calories a day. So annoying! But I know it will come off, just have to stay the course.

      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.
