If you all remember I had a stall for 3 weeks. I started loosing again on week 4 lost. Lost 7 more pounds in about 5 days after the stall. Now i'm about to be 6 weeks post up tomorrow. I weighed myself Monday and since I saw the scale has not moved weighed myself today. I guess I am stalled again. Today I weighed +2 pounds. Why this this stall happen so soon after the last one?? Are they usually this frequent? Has anyone else gotten them this frequent?

I'd appreciate any advise on this

Every. Freaking. Month. It may be hormonal.

I only lose the week to 10 days before my cycle. I usually lose a pound a day during that time. Then I stall or gain a pound or 2 for the rest of the month. It's maddening, but once I recognized the pattern, I grew to be ok with it.

Prior to surgery, when I had so much success on Low Carb this was how I lost... the week of my period I would lose a pound or more each day for several days in a row, then BAM. I'd stop until my next cycle... it was quite frustrating, but after a few months I owned it and learned to just wait.

I have since had a hysterectomy - although I still have my ovaries - and I'm much older (51).... now I have no idea what'll happen. So far since surgery I've been losing daily, but I know that will only last a short period of time, then I guess I'll have to learn how my body wants to lose again this time around.

Hang in there!

I totally understand I'm now approaching 7 weeks and I gave stalled since week 5. Frustrating but don't want to complain

      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. 🤞
