Stalling Sooner Than 3 Weeks...



Recommended Posts

Stall here too!! I was beginning to think I've been doing something off-plan.....but getting all my requirements (Protein and water). Surgery was June 14th and have post op appt tomorrow with my surgeon. Hoping to get some advice there. None the less...this is frustrating!! But I will follow the plan.

I had a stall week two that lasted a week.. .. since then I've been losing 5-6 pounds per week... Please please please all of you trust me, it won't last forever! I've been there. Hang in there! You're not alone

I am 1.5 week post-op and while I haven't stalled the lost has slowed down to 1lb/day where as before it was 2lbs a day. I've heard sooooo much about the stalls that I am expecting to run in to them at any point now. I have heard they are pretty normal and your lost should kick back in soon. Personally, I think this is just a resting phase for your body...its been through a lot so this is the bodies way of sayin "I need to take a rest".

So

I was completely prepared to deal with the unavoidable 3 week stall... But wasn't prepared that it may come sooner! Stalled out at about 1.5-2 weeks. Anyone else stall sooner than 3 weeks?

You have just had major surgery. You are swollen and full of IV fluids. You have not had time to have a stall.

Your primary focus right now is healing.

Until you are able to get in ALL of your fluids and Protein reliably, then it may be a very good idea to stay off the scale.

You need to focus on healing, rest, Fluid, Protein, walking, taking your Vitamins and supplements, and being gentle with yourself.

STAY OFF THE scale.< /p>

The weight loss will come.

Embrace the Stall

Happened to me sooner than three weeks, lasted about a week. Your body is trying to deal with what just happened. I'm 24 days post-op and down 17 lbs since surgery.

      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.
